Ute Rider

ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

A note from the artist: “Inspired by an experience at a powwow 43 years ago, the artist sought to capture the intensity and energy of that moment through vivid color choices. The rider, depicted atop a pony, symbolizes endurance—a central theme of the work. This oil painting is executed on a copper plate mounted on a wooden panel, a technique rooted in traditional Flemish practice. The artist created depth through multiple layers of paint, resulting in a smooth, polished surface that heightens the visual impact of the composition.”
