Nature is pure energy, we are nature, part of it, one and the same thing.
As part of it, we must respect it and take care of it, it is to respect and take care of ourselves.
Animals are a prism of it, and in particular I always felt a connection beyond words with horses.
Since I was a child I loved them, among many other animals, but with them I have a special fascination.
Noble, elegant, strong, they symbolise freedom.
Even one of my totems of power is the horse. According to ancient cultures, everyone has one or more power animals, from which they take their characteristics.
As a child I had some contact with horses, but I have few memories of them.
Nevertheless, I always felt a love for them that cannot be explained.
It is as if when I paint them I am painting part of my own being.
A few years ago I had the opportunity to ride a horse, something I had never done before, on the occasion of a birthday on a farm.
I did it as if I had done it all my life and I felt one with it. People looked at me in amazement, I didn't need anyone to show me how to get on or how to walk. In that horse called Indio there is nature, as in everything. It was beautiful to look into his eyes and brush his mane.
I have always enjoyed both drawing and painting them and this time I bring you an oil painting of a white horse, which I will call Strength and Freedom.
One of my passions is painting pictures and oil paintings, especially of nature. I have painted seas, forests, trees, animals of all kinds, but in equines I show my love for the beautiful nature. It is something I can't really explain in words.
I like to paint everything about them, but I think especially their look and the muscles, the shapes, the elegance and something I always say is that I like to give life to things.
That's why I think I paint very realistically.
People say to me "it looks real, as if it's going to come out of the painting". The truth is that I don't even realise that until I finish it and I see the final result from afar.
Nature in all its forms gives me a wonderful energy, it takes away my stress and recharges me with good vibes, to be one with it is fantastic.
She always speaks to us in different ways, I hope one day man will listen to her, we are part of it, we are born from nature but man is determined to destroy it. To do so is to destroy himself.
Enjoying the fresh air, the scent of a flower, the chirping of birds, the wind through the pines and the waves of the sea. That makes me forget about the real world, recharge my energy and know where everything comes from, from the source itself.
This white horse that I have painted for myself reflects the purity, strength, freedom, elegance and nobility of nature, of this planet that shelters us. Let us take care of it so that it takes care of us.
Let's remember that everything we do comes back as a rebound in life.
Many thanks to
