Description

The acrylic painting shows three riders in an impressive frontal view, walking calmly towards the viewer. The scene exudes a harmonious calm and control, which is further enhanced by the precisely chosen color palette and the excellent painting technique. The riders and their horses are depicted in finely coordinated, natural colors that are perfectly matched. This color coordination gives the picture a deep unity and ensures that the figures appear as one. In the background, a subtle landscape is suggested, which is kept in delicate, blurred colors, which draws the focus clearly to the three riders. The light and shadow effects are subtle but effectively used to emphasize the three-dimensional effect of the figures. This painting fascinates with its skillful color coordination and the harmony that speaks from the scene.

About the artist

Horst Ludwig, born in 1946, is a renowned artist with many years of experience and expertise in the field of painting. Animals, especially horses, have been his loyal companions since childhood. In his youth, Horst Ludwig often accompanied painters and picture restorers in the old churches and cathedrals of the former GDR and was part of the community of freelance painters. There he learned various painting techniques and his talent was recognized and encouraged. His passion for painting was shaped in this community. He is the proud father of two daughters and unfortunately, after 57 happy years of marriage, the love of his life passed away in February 2023. Today, living together with Arabian thoroughbreds and breeding them still shapes Horst Ludwig's everyday family life. As a free spirit and artist, Horst Ludwig lives and works on the island of Rügen, near Stralsund, on the family property. His studio is affectionately called "Kleckshäuschen". The name of his studio, "al Kuhl", is derived from the Arabic word "al-kuhl". For the painter, this term symbolizes the beauty, elegance and grace of Arabian horses as well as the trust and love between horse and human. His passion for horses and for life in all its facets is reflected in his works. The painter exhibits regularly and his studio is open to visitors, who are given a warm welcome.
