Description:
This work is part of the Element Series, an ongoing body of work in which different horse breeds are explored through a structured set of four paintings, each corresponding to a specific element.
The white Arabian mare is approached through a study of clarity, precision, and presence. Known for its refined structure and distinctive energy, the Arabian breed is here reduced to essential form, allowing its elegance and intensity to emerge without distraction.
Set against a blue background, the white figure creates a stark visual contrast that emphasizes both purity and tension. The cool field of color acts as a spatial and emotional counterpoint, isolating the subject while enhancing its luminosity and sculptural quality.
Although rooted in observation, the work retains a painterly sensitivity, where brushwork and surface remain visible. The study becomes more than a technical exercise it functions as a focused exploration of breed identity, atmosphere, and elemental association within the larger series.

About the Artist

Artist Bio & Statement
Rita Medvešek is a Zagreb-based painter currently studying at the Academy of Fine Arts. She primarily works in acrylic on canvas, developing a figurative practice centered on recurring motifs of horses and the female figure.
Her work moves between two parallel approaches, observational studies and freely constructed symbolic compositions. While her studies focus on form, structure and presence, her symbolic works shift toward a more narrative and psychological space, often combining female and animal motifs.
Within these compositions, the horse appears as a recurring symbol, not merely as a subject but as an extension of instinct, identity and inner tension. The female figure enters as a complementary presence, creating layered relationships between control and vulnerability, consciousness and the animal.
Through expressive brushwork, fragmentation and visible process, Medvešek explores the boundary between the observed and the internal. Her work does not aim for literal representation but for evoking a state, where the animal becomes a reflection of the human, and vice versa.
She has participated in group exhibitions and presented her work independently, including a solo presentation at the Zagreb Open at the Hipodrome. Her works are held in private collections.
