David Noalia

David Noalia lives in Seville, Andalusia. At just 17 years of age, he sold his first paintings to an art dealer who quickly ordered more works. At that decisive moment, he quickly understood that he could live from his art.

 

For Noalia, the horse is a universal theme, it is an essential subject. In art, it is the most represented animal since prehistory, and one of the oldest artistic subjects. Originally from the Iberian Peninsula, the Andalusian horse that Noalia cherishes for its extraordinary elegance and power represents the essence of Spain at its best : passion, color and drama.

 

Symbolically, the horse represents 'movement', and the study of the animal predominates over the rider who is, in his works, totally neglected : "When it comes to reproduce the rider, he is impersonal, even if the reins mark his dominance. His figure is barely noticeable. I paralyse the image, I focus on one point and deconstruct the snapshot : when you reach the horseman, the figure is already decomposed."

​

The freshness and energy of his work attracts collectors from the UK, Europe, USA and the Middle-East.
