I was always fascinated by the power of the horse, it's grace in movement, connection to man throughout the human history, and artistic interpretation of that connection in art. Here is my ceramic sculpture, a 3-D illustration of a another symbolic connection between the man and a horse, heroes of the famous epic work...do you need more clues to guess the name of the rider and his horse?
Below is an acrylic on canvas, it is a large piece which I painted last summer immersing myself in the culture of prehistoric times. I tried to use the same pigments as the cave artists as well as my hands and fingers to paint it.
Interesting is to think on the relations between a man and a horse, in the dawn of human story horse was a wild animal hunted for food and then eventually it became domesticated, helping the man in his labors, enabling him to discover and conquer.
Ecce Equus!
