Location: United States
I am an equine artist living and working in my home studio in Magnolia, Texas. My "Mottled Horses" – Equine/Western art developed since 2002-3 in my new “Mottled” style that merges abstract and expressionism with a touch of realism. The subject is created on a colorful abstract background to express feelings, often shown as a close-up, with special attention to the eyes and focusing on specific moods and composition. Often with secondary transparent image/s to show movement or specific scenario. In my paintings, I don’t intend to replicate photo-realistic objects, but to capture the utmost uniqueness of life. Illustrating my subjects, I often pay no attention to exact shapes, textures, or real colors and emphasize just on a small fragment, sometimes a very tiny detail, in order to insinuate an idea. That approach leads me to concentrate on what I feel and not what I see or know about the subject. My art captures just an indication to leave the rest for my viewer’s imagination to create the unique picture.

“Western Dust - Mottled Horses”
The painting represent a horse’s mirage–like portrait, where the subject is composed of dust of universe elements as; water, fire, air, and earth. All the elements are combined with the western wind and became a powerful and unique vision of horse’s strong body.
I used colors and textures to show the dust particles and commotion. Realistic eye was painted to support expression of the gentle giant. The pose shows horse’s submissive nature and its gracious body.
Also, additional background, translucent images were used to suggest movement and a story rather than represent a still horse portrait.
