The Raw Horse is an hymn to the relationship between the horse
and the human being. In a world that is nervously searching a reason for
its existence between hate, finance, war and a digital reproduction of
life, the horse represents pure beauty, peace, freedom. The most
valuable treasure of the third millennium.
The Raw Horse is a series of fine prints in limited edition.
Since 2010, The Raw Horse has been shot in Argentina,
California, New Mexico, Texas, Florida, China, UK, Poland, Italy,
