Elephant I (work 1 of 3) by Sandra ter Horst

This album does not depict animals, but a force that becomes palpable through form and movement. The elephants do not appear as realistic representations, but as bearers of presence — powerful yet serene. In each work, the gaze takes centre stage. The eyes are gentle, almost human, and serve as an anchor in a world of movement and blurring. The bodies partially dissolve into colour and brushstrokes, creating a tension between form and freedom. The works are built up from multiple transparent layers, in which cool shades of blue are broken up by warm accents. Dripping paint, rough transitions and soft colour gradients create a sense of depth and movement. It seems as though the elephants are not merely standing in the space, but moving through it. The inspiration stems from what the elephant symbolises: strength without aggression, calm without passivity. A presence that need not prove itself, but simply is.

The atmosphere is calm and intense at the same time. The works radiate tranquillity, yet carry an underlying energy that lingers. This collection is about inner strength — not loud or dominant, but quiet and undeniably present.

In an interior, these works bring balance and depth. They not only fill the space visually, but also add a sense of calm and weight that lingers. please in 3 or 4 sentences Elephants This album does not show animals, but a quiet, palpable power. The elephants appear in motion and fading, with their soft, almost human gaze lingering in particular.

Layered paint, cool shades of blue and subtle warm accents create a tension between tranquillity and energy. These works bring a sense of balance and presence to an interior — powerful, without being overpowering.
