Artist of the week - Askild Winkelmann

To Askild, depictions of a horse and its rider should reflect their passion and energy, as well as their rationality and focus. In her works, she highlights the exchange between these two entities.

The abstraction in her pieces highlights the movement of the horse and rider, while the realism displayed in the horses’ faces show their raw emotion and soul.

Askild strives to capture not only the movement of the game-play in her work, but also the strength and elegance of the horses’ movements.
