Grey Horse Head

“Grey Horse Head” offers a more intimate depiction of the horse. By focusing exclusively on the head, Benito set out to “capture the intellect and soul of the horse, rather than its physical power.” “When you paint the whole body, the eye tends to wander over the muscles and the movement. By narrowing the frame to just the head, I force a personal encounter. I wanted the viewer to look directly into that dark, liquid eye and feel the horse’s temperament its composure, its focus, and its quiet intelligence.” shared Benito.
