Roberto Dutesco and The Wild Horses of Sable Island

Never before have I become so obsessed, emotional, moved and touched by a body of work. I think that on some level every artist seeks out the idea of leaving behind a legacy of work deeper and more profound then the commercial work they are commissioned to do and that is the essence of this collection.
The images themselves are EXQUISITE and the story behind them simply amazing. The artist has hand written the latitude/ longitude as well as something enchanting, poetic and magical at the bottom of each print which I think adds a nice personal touch. Roberto Dutesco has captured the spirit of the animals and it is brilliant. I think its the first time I've ever met an artist who's soul seemed to be at peace.
And that's what moves me to tears.
