In an old monastery in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, I took this special photo of a beautiful Lusitano stallion. What immediately stands out is the serene atmosphere of the place, with the typical blue tiles so characteristic of Portugal. I saw these tiles everywhere in Lisbon, but here in particular, combined with the colonnade and the soft incoming light, they really stood out.
The stallion, with its light coat and elegant look, is in exactly the right place in the gallery. What makes this picture so special is the sense of mystery. The horse is looking at something on the other side of the columns, but what it is remains a mystery. That tension, combined with the tranquillity of the architecture, makes this work unique and inviting.
This picture fits into all kinds of interiors. In a modern interior, it provides a tranquillity and a touch of Mediterranean charm. In a classic or country interior, it blends seamlessly with warm, authentic elements. Hang it in a living room as an eye-catching piece of art, in a bedroom for a peaceful atmosphere, or in a study to bring a piece of inspiration from Portugal. For horse lovers and lovers of Portuguese culture, this is a timeless work that will keep touching you.
