A commanding portrait rendered in layered tones of slate blue, charcoal, and brushed gold, The Friesian Unique Uniek captures the noble presence and quiet intelligence of the Friesian horse. Lena Lottsfeldt approaches the subject with both reverence and expressive freedom, allowing painterly movement to animate the background while the horse itself remains poised and dignified.
The elongated vertical composition enhances the animal’s stature, drawing the eye upward along the elegant curve of the neck to the attentive gaze. Subtle highlights sculpt the musculature and bridle details, balancing realism with gestural abstraction. Metallic gold passages create visual rhythm and depth, lending warmth and contemporary sophistication to the cool tonal palette.
This work embodies strength and refinement—an evocative statement piece equally suited for a curated residential interior, equestrian estate, or modern collector’s space. Lottsfeldt’s expressive brushwork and compositional restraint allow the subject to feel timeless yet distinctly contemporary.
