Original artwork description
"Mosaic Mares" is a striking mixed-media contemporary painting by established Slovenian artist Igor Kotnik Art. Measuring 90 x 90 x 2 cm, this square-format original artwork depicts a dynamic and harmonious composition of three horse heads, beautifully intertwined in a vibrant vitrage-like style.
The painting is crafted with high-quality acrylics, modeling paste, and natural sand on a premium stretched canvas. The canvas comes alive through a rich, heavily textured surface that gives the artwork a palpable physical presence. Strong, architectural black linework flows across the canvas, capturing the elegant curves of the horses while dividing the space into a colorful mosaic. The color palette features a masterful balance of cool, deep blues and cyans contrasted by warm, radiant oranges, yellows, and deep reds, with subtle touches of purple.
The artwork is signed by the artist in the bottom corner in zadaj, features finished edges (ready to hang without a frame), and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. It is an ideal statement piece for modern, rustic, or contemporary spaces seeking an energetic yet soulful focal point.
The inspiration behind "Mosaic Mares" comes from the concepts of community, maternal bond, and collective energy within nature. In the wild, mares form the stable, protective core of the herd—sharing deep emotional connections, guidance, and mutual support.
In this piece, Igor Kotnik explores the fluid boundaries of individuality within a group. The three horse heads lean toward one another, their silhouettes overlapping until they merge into a single, unified tapestry of color and texture. The mosaic style serves as a visual metaphor: just as a mosaic relies on every single piece to form a complete picture, the strength of the herd lies in the togetherness of its members. The vibrant blues symbolize intuition and serenity, while the warm oranges and reds capture the raw life force and passion of these majestic creatures. By blending sand and structural paste into the paint, the artist anchors this spiritual harmony into the earthy reality of the canvas.
