Refined graffiti depicting a horse head in golden and bronze tones, inspired by the equestrian sculptures of the Greco-Roman classical tradition. The work masterfully captures the noble profile of the animal, with flowing mane and neck muscles rendered with shades that evoke ancient bronze. In the background, green and gold floral decorations in baroque style frame the figure, creating a dialogue between classical and contemporary art typical of the Bristol street art scene. This city has managed to transform its walls into a democratic and accessible art gallery, where works of the highest quality coexist with the everyday urban fabric.
