About this work:
Alone, yet radiating peace and quiet confidence, a Marwari mare steps into the world as a symbol of resilience. Known for their endurance and ability to traverse vast distances across India's arid landscapes, the Marwari breed stands as a testament to strength in harsh conditions. This particular mare was photographed in Rajasthan, India, during the torrential monsoon rains of 2024. The mare stands under a makeshift shelter, her posture poised yet betraying a hint of vulnerability. There is a subtle tension in her gaze, almost as if she is uncertain but determined, embodying a blend of pride, fear, and forward momentum. Her eyes, locking onto the photographer's lens, create a powerful connection, as if she is looking straight through the viewer. Captured from a slightly elevated angle, the composition emphasizes the mare’s grace and stature, giving her an almost regal presence despite the storm's devastating effects. The Wanderer stands as a reminder of the beauty that resists adversity, a portrait of a vulnerable creature navigating the storm of uncertainty with quiet determination.

About the Artist:
Anna Archinger (b. 1994, Neuburg an der Donau) is a German artist based in Dronningmølle, Denmark. Since 2022, she has worked professionally as a photographer, with a practice centered on equine imagery. Her fascination with horses goes beyond mere passion—she lives at Enggaarden, a farm and educational center dedicated to teaching the “Academic Art of Riding.” This close relationship with horses recalls the historical fascination of seminal artists with equine studies.

Over the past three years, Anna has developed a striking body of equine photography. Her work received an Honorable Mention in the Professional category from the International Photo Awards USA (2023) and was shortlisted in a private competition held by the Motif Collective Photography Gallery (2023). In 2024, her work will be presented in several international venues, including the Glasgow Gallery of Photography (United Kingdom), the Black and White Photography Festival (Athens), and the Chateau Gallery (Louisville).

"A traveling equestrian photographer who lives in a private riding education center that teaches the "Academic Art of Riding" in Dronningmølle, Denmark. For me, the farm is my open-air studio and the most fascinating workplace a photographer could dream of. I’m an artist who lives in the environment of my own inspiration — horses! I live surrounded by my ‘muse’ and power animals, as I love to call them."
