Horse Patterns

Horse Patterns

“Equine beauty enthralls me. The sweetness of a horse’s glance, the velvety softness of the muzzle, the bristly ear hairs and the luxurious mane make me hold my breath. I wanted to pay tribute to their beauty by composing a collage with the natural patterns found in the horse.

A closer look at the coat reveals amazing details of texture, colours and hues. The cascading mane over the shoulders makes a unique wavy design of contrasting textures. Glistening like tiny jewels, the tail hairs play with the sunlight offering a unique pattern at every step my equine friend gives.

His handsome face adorns the centre of the collage.”



Artist statement
My photographs are not enhanced; they represent the true nature and colours of the subjects as captured by the lens. I never lure my animated subjects to come close to me: spontaneity is the key.
