Mountain of the Return

This 16x20 spray-paint abstract expressionist piece captures a jagged, rising mountain breaking through soft blue haze, a reminder of what it feels like to claw your way out of the lowest places and still find shape, color, and meaning in the climb; the rough, textured red strokes cut through the calm blues like lived experience etched into rock, while the black framing mist feels like the darkness you step out of to keep moving forward, making this painting a raw moment of resilience frozen in color — a piece for anyone who knows the journey isn’t easy, but the rise is always worth it.
