"ἀλκή" (alke) meaning "strength, prowess"
From the Artist:
“I'm happy to share this new piece with you. It's a study in watercolour, ink, coloured pencil and oil pastel, showing a horse mid-canter in a moment of movement and ease. I started it as a quick sketch study, but it slowly took on a life of its own. The colour palette came together naturally, giving the piece a quiet kind of energy, while the mark-making I did was somewhat a reflection of a dappled grey.
I’ve been thinking a lot about strength lately, not the loud kind, but the type that’s calm, steady, and grounded. Horses have consistently held that balance for me. They move with power, but there’s softness too. A kind of quiet awareness.
This piece is called ἀλκή (Alke) - a Greek word that means strength or prowess.
It’s part of a growing study of quicker expressive works. As an artist, I'm interested in how we hold our energy, and what it means to move through the world with presence.”

This artwork is printed with a fine art printer on archival, matte, and velvet fine art paper. I chose a softer watercolour texture to enhance the deep tones, resembling a cold-pressed watercolour sheet with its lovely velvet finish.
I now offer unmounted prints, but if you add mounting, your piece will arrive with a backboard and cellophane cover, making it perfect for gifting or framing immediately.
✨ About timed, open edition prints:
Each unmounted print comes with a backboard and a protective cover. Every print features the artist's signature.
Printed on premium, archival matte fine art paper.
✨ About the limited edition prints:
Each unmounted print comes with a backboard and a protective cover. Every print features a handwritten identifying number reflecting its place in the limited release, along with the artist's signature.
Printed on premium, thicker archival matte velvet fine art paper, the quality difference between a standard print and a fine art print is striking. This limited edition run provides a gallery-quality experience. Feel free to check my shop feedback for more information on the quality of the prints.
✨ How are fine art prints created:
All prints are printed using a fine art printer, on fine art paper. The inks used to create this work are special art printing inks, not your standard printer ink. All of my prints have enhanced print longevity; they will last approximately 200 years in a photo album, 80 years on display behind normal glass in sunlight before they start to fade!
(Please look at the texture and detail on the images; it's such a beautiful fine art paper.)
A2/A1 prints will have a longer lead time as they require printing from a fine art lab in London UK. ( Around 1 to 2 weeks)
Print size A4 with mounting fits into 12" x 16" frame. A4 image size is the UK standard printer paper size 21.0 x 29.7cm,
Print size A3 with mounting fits into a 20" x 16" frame. A3 image size is double A4- 29.7 x 42.0cm
Print size A2 arrives unmounted fits into a A2 frame. A2 image size: 16.5 x 23.4”
When looking for a frame, if you have chosen mounting as an add on please search for the size above with no mounting, for example ‘’12" x 16" frame no mounting’’ it is very easy to frame; just simply remove the protective cover and pop straight into the frame. Please feel free to message me should you need help when you have your artwork.
