Modern Classic prints
HORSES
Traditional paintings with a modern twist: this is the essence of the Modern Classics equine prints. Here, you will find classic compositions—primarily of "old money" sport horses like the English Thoroughbred—contemporized with modern backgrounds such as color-blocking. Discover timeless equine art with a graphic aesthetic; a refined fusion of heritage and modernity that blends seamlessly into both 'quiet luxury countryside' and urban high-end interiors.
Traditional horse paintings in a contemporary way
True horse enthusiasts and art connoisseurs will recognize them instantly: the classic oil paintings of artists like George Stubbs and Alfred Munnings, often set against romantic landscapes and stately estate gardens.
What characterizes these historical works is their traditional charm, fitting the spirit of their time. To translate this classic equine art to the present day, I wanted to provide a modern, contemporary twist. This is exactly what my Modern Classic prints represent: the "old money heritage" feeling of the past—captured through classic, profile-view compositions—brought together with a modern, graphic aesthetic. By using contemporary color-block backgrounds, I create a fresh and current look. It is a style rooted in the quiet luxury of the elegant countryside, but reimagined for today.
From the romantic countryside to modern urban
The true appeal of the Modern Classics collection lies in its versatility. Featuring color-block backgrounds in soft pastels or rich earth tones, these works are equally at home in a romantic country interior as they are in a modern city apartment.
Reflecting that old money aesthetic, the collection focuses on sporting breeds, such as the renowned athletic Warmbloods, the English Thoroughbred, and the Irish Hunter. These breeds are rendered with lifelike precision, often in a traditional style reminiscent of oil paints, combined with illustrative mixed-media techniques. This results in a graphic aesthetic that radiates both heritage and modernity. These artworks form a sophisticated fusion of styles, allowing them to integrate flawlessly into both stately manor houses and high-end urban spaces.
