Statement: I like to exploit movement, light and shade, my subjects are always in abeyance. Time is not important, rendering homage to the horse is of great significance to me whatever the breed, the color, or the value. I work on a black background, the medium I use is oil and my theme is an intimate, spiritual study of the horse. I execute my paintings with minimal strokes, giving respect to the horse`s fragility and nobility. The black background is used to represent emptiness, permitting the horse its full liberty of movement, attitude, and aspect. A subject on black can`t help but be seen in its most profound vibrance. When I paint I think of freedom and dignity of spirit. www.myspace.com/dominicreneepaul souffleduvent@hotmail.com
