Conqueror reimagines the figure of the Iberian conquistador through the lens of Caribbean magical realism. Dressed in vibrant, hybrid ornaments—part armor, part folklore—the character sits disarmed by the abundance and beauty of the new land. The watermelon, held almost as an offering, becomes a symbol of sweetness, discovery, and cultural transformation.

Balancing humor and reflection, Aurelio Milera portrays the moment when identity begins to shift: the conquistador no longer certain of where he belongs, caught between origin and adoption, lineage and landscape. In this intimate pause, Conqueror becomes a portrait of the criollo spirit—shaped by encounter, wonder, and the irresistible pull of the island.
