This artwork is an exquisite sculpture that commands attention with its unique form and lustrous finish. Depicting a stylized horse, this piece is a masterful blend of geometric precision and organic simplicity. The horse is crafted with clean lines and angular shapes, which imbue it with a sense of modern sophistication and timeless elegance. The most striking feature of this sculpture is its radiant, golden surface. The artist has meticulously applied a metallic gold leaf finish, which captures and reflects light with a captivating brilliance. The interplay of light and shadow on the textured surface adds depth and movement, enhancing the visual impact of the piece. The horse stands in a poised and sturdy stance, exuding strength and grace. Despite its abstract form, the sculpture retains an undeniable essence of equine nobility. This juxtaposition of abstraction and recognizable form creates a compelling tension that draws the viewer in, inviting contemplation and admiration. This artwork is a testament to the artist's skill in marrying minimalist design with rich, tactile surfaces. It is not merely a representation of a horse but a sophisticated statement piece that elevates any space with its presence. The sculpture's bold aesthetic and impeccable craftsmanship make it a standout addition to contemporary art collections.

Presentation
K. Oldal has studied Design history and particularly Scandinavian Design at the university during five years.
For the last couple of years, she proposes a very original reinterpretation of a famous Swedish symbol: the Dalecarlian horse or Dalahorse (Dalahäst). This national symbol links to Viking mythology and the ancient Gods Freyr and Odin. She has named this original creation 'Oldalahäst' after her maternal grandparents and very especially in tribute to her grandfather who to seduce his dearest (very keen on originality) invented his own surname (Oldal) and gave it to her as a wedding gift.
Each horse is a unique handmade piece of wood (Swedish pine from Nusnäs), with a modern and pure shape, it has the signature of the artist. Some of them are covered in gold, copper and silverleaves and are tagged with graffitis, other with handpicked flowers that she presses and dries in a traditional way, between pages of old books. The drying time is between one to three months. The flowers come from different places that she loves, like the archipelago of Stockholm, the mountains of Provence, the riviera of Liguria and Tuscany.
All the pieces are covered by several coats of UV-protection and varnish to finish the process and make them resistant. The Oldalahäst is a product filled with wholehearted passion combining both tradition and modernity with handicraft and design and a great sensibility for colors.
