White Horses

2005-2012, oil on canvas, 100x100 cm /// Ivars Heinrihsons (1945) is one of the most prominent figures in the contemporary Latvian art scene, an outstanding representative of neo-expressionism with a distinctive style, symbolic imagery, and colour palette. In his works, the horse motif transforms into a metaphor for freedom, movement, and expression, which the artist conveys through vibrant dynamism and an energy-charged approach. The expressive use of line and the interplay of black-and-white contrasts imbue the horse motif with monumental power while simultaneously emphasising the purity of form and emotional intensity. The artist's works are part of private and public collections in Latvia and abroad, including museum collections. /// The artist's signature is on the lower right of the painting.
