About The Artwork

Face To Face 79t by Benedicte Gele is a compelling 19.68 x 27.55 inch mixed media portrait on canvas that captures the quiet intensity of a horse meeting the viewer’s gaze. Earthy washes of sienna and ochre melt into cool blue-grey highlights, creating a balance between warmth and restraint. The paint drips and gestural marks echo the spontaneity of movement, while precise linework defines the structure of the face and the weight of emotion behind the eyes.

The composition places the viewer at an intimate distance. The elongated form of the head becomes a path of light and shadow, suggesting patience, memory, and the unspoken language shared between humans and horses. It is a work that feels both contemporary and timeless, appealing to collectors who value art that honors presence and connection.

About the artist

Explore the Bénédicte Gelé Equine Collection: Soulful and expressive horse paintings and drawings by the acclaimed French artist. From raw charcoal portraits to vibrant oil 'equine nudes,' Gelé captures the profound emotional depth and natural elegance of horses through a masterfully expressive style.

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.
