Horses III

2007-2019, oil on canvas, 100x100 cm (with frame 101x101x5 cm) /// Ivars Heinrihsons (1945) is one of the most renowned and prominent Latvian neo-expressionists. A distinctive style, symbolic imagery, and colour palette characterise his work. Heinrihsons’ depictions of horses are consistently powerful and monumental, capturing these animals’ primal spirit and strength in every piece. In the painting “Horses III”, galloping horses serve as a metaphor for freedom, movement, and the inner ego of human beings.
