Description
The impressionistic work "Magic Blue Shadows" shows a man running towards the viewer with four angular, mystical-looking horses. The horses have a stylized shape that gives them a mysterious, almost supernatural appearance.The background consists of flowing shades of blue that blend into one another in different hues, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The ground quickly appears alive, while the deep, clearly visible shadows of the horses and their owner give the image strong structure and depth. These shadows reinforce the mystical impression of the landscape.The predominant shades of blue and striking shadows create a magical and calm atmosphere. The image hovers between dream and reality, transporting the viewer into a world that is both calming and mysterious, as if the scene came from another reality.

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.
