About the artwork

This picture is in my top three favourite works and is an absolute dream for any photographer. Capturing this cremello Lusitano stallion in the colonnade of an old Portuguese monastery felt almost magical. Everything about this image breathes Portugal: the elegant stallion with its silky, light coat, the traditional saddle and bridle, the blue tiles on the wall and the stately row of pillars surrounding the monastery courtyard. The atmosphere is steeped in history, refinement and the unique beauty of Portuguese heritage.

Taking this picture was a special moment. The Lusitano is not only a typical Portuguese breed, but also a symbol of strength, grace and tradition. The setting, with its classical monastery and warm light, forms a perfect harmony between horse and surroundings. For lovers of horse photography and anyone passionate about culture and travel, this picture exudes everything Portugal stands for.

This work on the wall is an eye-catcher in any room. In a modern interior it offers a beautiful contrast, while in a classic or country interior it blends seamlessly into the atmosphere. Hang it in a living room as a statement piece, in a bedroom for a touch of elegance, or in a workspace for daily inspiration. For horse lovers and travellers, this piece brings not only aesthetics, but also a sense of adventure, history and pure beauty into your home.
