Conquistador

Vineta Sayer
Coloured oil on canvas | 110 x 87 cm (43" x 34" framed in natural oak).

Conquistador presents a horse and rider emerging with commanding presence, the composition tightened so the pair feels almost monumental. Sayer leans into a bold, monochromatic palette—often deep blues or cool tones—that sharpen the contours of the horse’s head and the rider’s poised silhouette. Her brushwork is energetic yet controlled, giving the impression of disciplined power held just beneath the surface. The overall mood is one of quiet dominance: a partnership forged through focus, strength, and an unmistakable sense of purpose.
