From the artist:
My artistic journey is deeply intertwined with a lifetime spent in the presence of horses. Their cadence, grace, and untamed spirit have become the guiding forces behind my creative expression. Each brushstroke on canvas is a reflection of the fluidity and energy I have experienced in their presence.
Drawing from the wellspring of my subconscious, I channel the essence of equine movement onto the canvas, seeking to capture the raw beauty and poetry of their motion. Through the mediums of oil and acrylic paint, along with a blend of intuition and technique, I strive to evoke the dynamic spirit of these magnificent creatures. Their unbridled energy flows freely through my brushes onto the canvas surface.
Nature, with its boundless beauty and hidden mysteries, provides further inspiration for my work. Subtle references to the interconnectedness of all life forms emerge within the layers of vivid color and rich texture, echoing the symbiotic relationship between horse and environment.
Ultimately, my art is abstract expressionism celebrating the profound connection between humanity and the natural world, with horses serving as both muse and metaphor. It is my desire that through my creations, viewers will be transported into a realm where movement and spirit converge, inviting them to experience on canvas, the magic of the equine soul.
