Description
The watercolor drawing, framed in an exclusive baroque silver frame, shows a lonely soldier sitting by the side of the road. The lines are delicate but precise, clearly conveying his exhausted state. The soldier is wearing a simple uniform. His head is slightly bowed, as if he is lost in thought or overcome by fatigue. His face is framed by a thick beard, which highlights his rugged features and the trials he has experienced. The soldier's gaze is directed at us. The pen drawing captures the soldier's silent loneliness. The background is kept simple, so that the focus is entirely on the soldier. The lines are delicate and convey a deep melancholy that draws the viewer into the soldier's feelings.

Horst Ludwig, born in 1946, - nominated for the Artist OF EUROPE AWARD 2024 in Florence -  is a renowned artist with many years of experience and great expertise in the field of painting. Since his childhood, animals, especially horses, have accompanied him as loyal companions. In his youth, Horst Ludwig spent a lot of time in the old churches and cathedrals of the former GDR, where he often supported painters and picture restorers. In the community of freelance painters, he learned various painting techniques, and his talent was recognized and encouraged early on. This time had a lasting impact on his passion for painting.

Horst Ludwig is the proud father of two daughters. After 57 happy years of marriage, he lost the love of his life in February 2023. Despite this loss, the shared love of Arabian thoroughbreds and their breeding continues to shape everyday life on the family estate near Stralsund on the island of Rügen, where he lives and works as a free spirit and artist. His studio, affectionately called "Kleckshäuschen", is called "al Kuhl," derived from the Arabic word "al-kuhl," which for him symbolizes the beauty, elegance and grace of Arabian horses as well as the trust and deep bond between humans and animals.

Horst Ludwig's passion for horses and life in all its facets is impressively reflected in his works. The painter exhibits regularly and his studio is open to visitors, who are always welcome.
