About the artwork

This vertical colour photograph shows a tender and emotional moment between two horses, captured in an intimate and understated setting. The background is completely black, giving the two animals a strong contrast and all the attention goes to their shapes, texture and interaction with each other. The horse on the left is dark grey to almost black, with a light muzzle, powerful build and shiny coat. The horse on the right is lighter in colour: cream to light brown, with wavy mane and a soft, almost dreamy look.

The horses stand close together, with their heads turned towards each other. Their foreheads gently touch, as if they are comforting each other or in silent communication. There is a sense of trust, peace and connection. The posture of both animals radiates softness and affection, without the need for any human presence to make that bond palpable.

The lighting is subtle and professional: the light falls precisely on the front of the horses, revealing the texture of their fur and the shape of their muscles beautifully. The rest of the image remains in darkness, enhancing the emotional focus. The background suggests a stable or shadowy space, but is deliberately visually eliminated.

Dominant colours in the picture are:

#2E2E2E (dark coat)

#D8C9B0 (light coat)

#1A1A1A (black background)

#B5A38D (mane)

This picture breathes tranquillity, strength and tenderness at the same time. It is a visual ode to the quiet contact between animals - pure, respectful and unadorned. The shot feels like a classic portrait, with strong emotional charge and technical refinement in composition and use of light.
