Jean-Louis Sauvat has drawn many horses over the course of his career; their morphology holds no secrets for him. The prominent bones and powerful musculature of the horse is portrayed in willowy lines, imbuing the animal with divine elegance. Given wings, it rises up to become a celestial being, ready to fly to Mount Olympus. The airborne horse ia a Pegasus, spreading his wings of desire, a desire for both freedom and protection, carrying with him all the myths that inhabit our childhood dreams. Legend has it that at night he transforms into a constellation of stars.
