In the Studio

Desert Spirits

The horses are depicted in powerful motion, giving a glimpse into their spirits. I used a detailed and realistic technique to showcase their anatomy and musculature, while the dramatic contrast with the dark background makes them leap forward visually.

Overall, the painting exudes a sense of freedom and energy and honors the beauty of these noble animals.

Can’t wait to see it in UAE

Sam, an older horse who has captured my heart and inspired me to create a piece that truly embodies his spirit. This painting is a tribute to Sam and his beautiful soul, showcasing his personality and the wisdom that comes with his years.

Leo

Leo is a Quarter Horse paint that I rescued, he holds a special place in my heart. This horse has brought so much joy and love into my life, and I wanted to capture his essence in a portrait that I will cherish for a lifetime. The process of painting this portrait allowed me to truly connect with this magnificent creature and convey his spirit on canvas. I poured my heart and soul into this piece, and I am thrilled with the end result. It's a reminder of the bond we share and the gratitude I have for his presence in my life.

Delfina

Feeling incredibly privileged to have had the opportunity to visit @nachofigueras and @delfinablaquier Polo facilities in Argentina this year and photograph the stunning Polo horses.

The color palette of this painting is truly mesmerizing, and I’m obsessed with capturing every last detail. Introducing “Delfina” - a captivating piece inspired by my visit to the Polo grounds.

Bliss

Returned from an incredible trip to Argentina and I am absolutely blown away by the stunning patterns and textures of the Argentinian halter. The intricate artwork and unique designs are truly inspirational.

The way the patterns come together to create such stunning artwork is truly one-of-a-kind. I can't wait to incorporate these beautiful designs into my own work.

Whistlejacket

An overwhelming visit to the National Gallery in London today. Two years ago, I was referenced by international art critic Damian Smith to have similarities in my work with the great equine artist George Stubbs, referencing his most famous piece “Whistlejacket”. I’ve was unaware of George and his work, however now feel an emotional connection to this piece. I can see the connection we both have to portray the sole beauty of the horse.

George Stubbs (1724-1806)
Whistlejacket, about 1762
Whistlejacket, the second Marquess of
Rockingham's prize racehorse, is presented
full-size and rearing in the /evade position
usually used in equestrian portraits of
military commanders. A specialist horse
painter, Stubbs deliberately depicted
Whistlejacket without a rider against a
blank backdrop, making the viewer focus
solely on the majestic beauty and
unrestrained power of the Arabian stallion.
