#30041 Ignacio Pinazo Camarlench

The painting presents a study of equine form, focusing intently on the head and neck of what appears to be a horse or similar animal. The artist has rendered the subject with a vigorous application of paint, prioritizing expressive gesture over precise detail. Brushstrokes are visible and assertive, contributing to a sense of dynamism and immediacy.
Here we see a predominantly warm palette – ochres, browns, creams, and touches of pink – used to depict the animal’s coat. These tones are set against a background dominated by shades of green, which is applied in broad, textured strokes that create an atmospheric depth rather than a clearly defined space. The green seems less like a literal representation of foliage and more as a coloristic foil to the warmth of the subject.
The composition is cropped tightly around the animal’s head, emphasizing its powerful features. The eye, though somewhat abstracted, conveys a sense of alertness and perhaps even apprehension. The mane and tail are rendered with swirling brushwork that suggests movement and untamed energy.
Beyond a straightforward depiction of an animal, the painting seems to explore themes of vitality and raw power. The loose handling of paint and the limited color range contribute to a feeling of spontaneity and emotional intensity. It is likely intended as a study – a preliminary exploration of form and expression rather than a finished portrait. The signature in the upper right corner suggests a personal mark, reinforcing the impression of an intimate encounter with the subject. The overall effect is one of restrained energy and quiet contemplation.
