About The Artwork
expand_more
Expression 39t by Benedicte Gele is an original mixed media painting on canvas, measuring 18.11 x 21.65 inches. The piece centers on the intimate profile of a horse’s eye, capturing an emotive moment that blends strength, gentleness, and quiet introspection. Layers of pigment and ink are washed across the surface in cool blues and warm siennas, creating a sense of movement that feels both spontaneous and carefully considered. Dripped textures and graphite marks reveal the underlying structure of the animal, conveying a living presence rather than a static portrait.
The artwork reflects the bond between observer and animal, focusing on the gaze as a window into instinct, vulnerability, and memory. Subtle transitions in tone allow the viewer to sense every breath and heartbeat, offering a contemplative experience for collectors who value expressive equine art. Its refined composition and tactile techniques make it a striking piece for modern interiors where authenticity and emotional resonance are essential.

About the artist

France based and internationally spread, Benedicte Gelé paints horses with expressiveness and emotions. Born in 1975 in the Parisian suburb, she’d never had connection with horses until she started to ride them at the age of 15. In parallel, school was at best the place where she could draw horses on the sidelines of her notebooks, with her head more in the clouds than focused on the teachers' words.
She became a graphic designer without stopping her research in the arts. Her curiosity and her desire to improve her skill, pushed her into learning by herself the different techniques like oil or watercolor. She started to paint landscapes with first success in regional exhibitions with some first prizes.
In 2004, her job as an art director ended as she became pregnant. This time of unemployment was undeniably a sign for her to start something else. Gelé became graphic designer and artist freelancer. On the horse side, she never failed to take time during the weekends with her mare she’d bought with the help of her parents and summer jobs when she was 18 years old. This first mare played a major role in her life without knowing it at the time.
