Fata Morgana

The painting shows a horse looking back over its shoulder, as if listening to something far away. A soft, graphic technique and fine hatching convey the elegance of form, the nobility and the inner strength of the animal. Its gaze — attentive and slightly pensive — draws the viewer in and holds them, evoking a sense of stillness and grandeur. Gentle transitions of tone and an almost weightless background create an atmosphere of calm and harmony.
