Description
The watercolor drawing shows two young women sitting in a dune landscape. The wind blows strongly from the left across the picture, giving the scene liveliness and dynamism. The color palette consists mainly of warm browns, combined with soft white tones. The lady on the left sits with her arm outstretched, holding a large towel that the wind blows through the air. The towel flies behind her like a sail, with the fine lines and nuances of the fabric conveying the power of the wind and the lightness of the fabric. The lady on the right sits next to her and has a scarf wrapped around her head, which is also attracted by the wind and pulled into the air. The scarf flutters wildly, partially covering her face, and her hair and the scarf almost merge together as she moves.

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.
