The Sage

Description

The plain white background, with no added detail and no chromatic treatment, allows the horse to stand out in all its splendour. Its magical beauty is also portrayed by concentrating on just one principal colour, from which the artist derives, with exceptional sensitivity, a whole spiral of different hues and shades which gives the work, not only an aesthetic purity, but also a poetic and semantic feeling, converting it into an artistic study about the relationship between realism and idealism”. Excerpt from “The Dream of Freedom” by art critic Branka Berberijan.
