This hieroglyphic triptych is inspired by the Artist’s dear friend, Alex Găvan, renowned Romanian high-altitude mountaineer. Painted in the style of ancient wall murals typical of the Artist’s work, the image symbolizes the Climber’s death-defying inner struggle-- based on true events-- while forced to survive the night in his bivouac, above 8000 meters, without supplemental oxygen, on a Himalayan peak in Tibet. In a moment of meditative sudden awareness, the Climber is surrounded by his guardian spirits—The French Fish, the Love Lizard, the Earth Eagle, the Vine of Purpose, and others—who may guide him, sherpa-like, back to safety. His time to merge with the mountain has not come: he will fight on, he will be reborn anew! He will vanquish his inner Jaguar-Otorongo, and embrace the more elusive calling of its kinder, gentler cousin: the Snow Leopard.
