Acrylic, Oil on Linen, 130x160cm, 2022

In my creation, I wielded oil with a dedication to capture the raw, untamed majesty of nature and the human spirit's tenacity. Infusing each stroke with the essence of vintage allure and realism, I crafted a scene that transcends the ordinary, invoking a metaphysical connection between the viewer and the vast, silent call of the wilderness. This piece embodies the resolute journey of pushing one's limits, promising to imbue any space with the stirring energy of ambition and adventure. Images within this painting that fuse to form a new envisioned hyper-real place, were sourced from photographs within mountaineering literature by several other himalayan expeditions and climbers such as Reinhold Messner.
