Description
The acrylic painting shows a magnificent Arabian grey stallion, depicted in all its elegance and grace. The stallion stands majestically in the center of the painting. The artist's soft, flowing brushstrokes emphasize the horse's supple muscles and bring the light reflections on its coat to life. The background is in muted, natural tones that bring the main subject to the foreground without being obtrusive. Through the harmonious color composition and the skillful use of light and shadow, the artist succeeds in capturing the majestic appearance of the Arabian grey horse in an impressive way. The painting exudes a calm, timeless elegance and captivates the viewer while celebrating the beauty and grandeur of this noble animal.

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.
