About Damian
Damian is a visual artist whose practice spans equestrian painting and portraiture, exploring both the human and animal form with equal intensity. His work captures the unique character, presence, and emotional depth of each subject—whether horse or human—through posture, expression, and movement, creating a powerful connection with the viewer. Each painting seeks to reveal something quietly commanding beneath the surface, a blend of strength, spirit, and vulnerability.
A distinctive element of Damian’s work is his fascination with the unfinished. He embraces the raw edges of the painting process—visible brushstrokes, unrefined textures, and marks shaped by chance. These elements bring honesty, energy, and immediacy to both his equestrian and human subjects, allowing space for interpretation and reflection.
Damian’s practice balances representation with spontaneity, ensuring each work remains open, expressive, and alive—capturing not just form, but presence, character, and the profound interplay of power and emotion in both horses and humans.
