Stories of black horses are prevalent throughout history, mythology, and literature. The mention of a black stallion ignites imagination, firing our passions, and sometimes even creates a sense of awe and terror. From the noble Bucephalus and the adventurous Black Stallion, to the haunting steed of the Headless Horseman and the otherworldly mounts of the Nazgûl, these legends highlight their power, beauty, and deep connection with humans - as well as an enduring sense of mystery.
Horses embody a blend of power and elegance that makes them a timeless subject for artists worldwide. This contrast between power and elegance, strength and grace inspired me to create a new body of work featuring stunning domestic horses.
Capturing this duality by focusing on subtle details and the interplay of light and shadows allowed me to distill the essence of the horse, highlighting it's characteristics, both intimate and majestic.
