Francesca Morlacchi - 'Oltre' L

Francesca Morlacchi
Master of Arts, Equine Artist and Emerging Contemporary Artist.
Francesca Morlacchi was born in the province of Bergamo in 1976. From her very first steps, she was enchanted by horses, experiencing the profound emotions that fill the soul and heart with joy through her close connection with them. Sometimes words are not enough to describe these wonderful animals in all their natural, powerful and complex beauty. After a predominantly arts-focused education, attending the Andrea Fantoni Art Institute and the painting department at the Brera Academy, Francesca Morlacchi continued to draw, paint and portray, above all, horses.
She has received excellent critical reviews and feedback that continue to reaffirm her work, as well as awards and honorable mentions. She has also built an impressive exhibition record at various national galleries and several international expos.
She is listed among Contemporary Artists in Mondadori’s official Modern and Contemporary Art catalogues and in the Italian Art Encyclopedia.
Selected by director Alberto Nacci for the project ‘100 Faces of Artists from Bergamo’: catalogue and video interviews.
Patron member of the Paard Verzameld Equine Art Service agency.
She has also exhibited at national and international show-jumping competitions.
She collaborated with the Horse Angels association on a fundraiser, donating a work for a charity auction.
In 2024, she painted a portrait of the winner of the Stallion Derby held at Capannelle Racecourse (Rome). Commissioned by S.I.R.E., the work is on display in the historical yearbook at San Siro Racecourse (Milan).
In 2025 and 2026, she exhibited at Travagliato Cavalli and, over the four-day event, painted a life-size horse, later donating the work to the event organizers.
Curator: Federico Caloi; current artistic coefficient: 1.2.

‘Beyond’
Beyond the darkness.
Beyond fear.
Beyond what can be seen.
This horse isn’t emerging from the darkness; it’s going beyond it.
Beyond what it was, beyond what it thought it was.
I painted it thinking of all the moments when it seems there is no light, and then, right there, you find the strength to take one more step.

The artwork is sold with a frame, varnished and hand-signed.
Comes with a certificate of authenticity stating the artistic coefficient.
