Mountaineer

Camouflage and the dignity of isolation: the complete merging of every form with the gold-earthen ground conveys perfect camouflage and a dignified solitude. The presence of the figure is not loud or confrontational; it rests inseparably in the primal matter of the alpine world. The picture describes the emotional balance between the hard, unrelenting struggle on rocky ground (the dark rust tones) and, at the same time, the proud shining in the very first warming light of the day (the dominant golden yellow).
