For us “perfection” is not a marketing word …

For us “perfection” is not a marketing word …

Seeing a painting on the web or in a museum makes a certain difference …

We live in a hyper-accelerated and internet-dependent world, the worst possible conditions not only to appreciate a work of genius, but also to compare it with similar works.

We feel so invested with the “sacred mission” of giving a like to anything, that we feel capable of judging in fractions of a second what it took hours, days, sometimes weeks and months to be developed.

The temptation to “reshape” our work as creatives on the standards of the web is always present: that is where 90% of our work will end up.

How many times are we granted the privilege of printing and touching, to experience the fruit of our work in reality? We could count them on the fingers of one hand …

Compromises are not allowed in this study. We have optimized our workflow over the years not to accommodate lower standards, but to be more effective at meeting ours. We will never tire of conveying our obsession with detail to our customers. In a thousand years, we would like our photo, video or logo to still be considered an example of excellence for the era in which they were produced.

Viviamo in un mondo iper-accellerato e internet-dipendente, le peggiori condizioni possibili non solo per apprezzare un’opera dell’ingegno, ma anche per confrontarla con opere simili.

Ci sentiamo talmente investiti della “sacra missione” di concedere un like a qualunque cosa, che ci riteniamo capaci di giudicare in frazioni di secondo ciò che ha richiesto ore, giorni, a volte settimane e mesi di studio.
La tentazione di “rimodulare” il nostro operato di creativi sugli standard del web é sempre presente: tanto lì finirà il 90% dei nostri lavori.
Quante volte ci viene concesso il privilegio di stampare e toccare con mano, di sperimentare nella realtà, il frutto del nostro lavoro? Potremmo contarle sulle dita di una sola mano…
I compromessi non sono ammessi in questo studio. Abbiamo ottimizzato il nostro workflow nel corso degli anni non per adattarci a standard più bassi, ma per essere più efficaci nel soddisfare i nostri. Non ci stancheremo mai di trasmettere ai nostri clienti la nostra ossessione per i dettagli. Fra mille anni vorremmo che una nostra foto, un nostro video o un nostro logo venissero ancora considerati un esempio di eccellenza per l’epoca in cui sono stati prodotti.

Print

Tristan Dark Horses does not print its works directly, but uses two outstanding realities in the Italian panorama. However, our studio guarantees its supervision over the entire printing process (CMYK conversion, blueprint, color calibration, etc.). The customer simply has to approve the print shop’s quote.

Grafiche Antiga

For printing flyers, catalogs, brochures, etc. We are talking about one of the most important printing companies in the world, responsible for various editions of the Pirelli Calendar.

Grafiche Antiga

Fine Art Connection

Fine Art Connection is a laboratory specialized in fine art printing that we recommend to all customers for luxury-finished photos. Prints are made on museum paper, and can be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by us as a guarantee of the absolute quality of the work.

Fine Art Connection

Merchandising

90% of the logos we make find applications in merchandising. Tristan Dark Horses has been collaborating for years with Sara Bevilacqua’s Gadget Solution, which can in effect be considered a merchandising specialist in the equestrian sector.

Gadget Solution

Custom made clothing and gadgets for your company or farm.

Artistic reproductions

For those wishing to go beyond photography and obtain a painting from one of our images, we are proud to recommend an artist who is not only a dear friend, but whose quality and professionalism are absolutely aligned with ours.

Irene Meniconi

The value of a service can only be judged when a serious alternative is present. When I founded TRISTAN DARK HORSES, I wanted to bring the quality of a high-end communication studio to the equestrian world. This is the quality that we WANT and CHOOSE to offer. We don’t like to think in terms of customers and prices, we prefer to imagine being a natural choice for those who aspire to excellence in communication.
