"Mountains Within" Framed Canvas

This collage merges vintage pulp magazine imagery with expansive alpine terrain, placing a mid-century–inspired woman directly within the frozen mountainscape. Her figure dissolves into snow and ice, suggesting she is both part of the landscape and the force shaping it. The composition carries a surreal tension, where beauty and danger exist in the same breath.

An avalanche breaks loose below, sending two lone skiers shooting through the chaos. Their small scale against the vast terrain reinforces themes of momentum, risk, and human insignificance when confronted with forces larger than ourselves. What begins as elegance shifts quickly toward volatility, blurring the boundary between control and collapse.

Cool blues, icy whites, and layered textures define the piece, with distressed details that reference classic pulp magazine collage techniques while maintaining a contemporary sensibility. The work invites reflection on how inner pressure and emotion can manifest outward, reshaping the environments we inhabit.

Printed on a 40” high by 30” wide canvas and finished in a walnut wood frame, Mountains Within delivers a bold, cinematic presence suited for modern, mountain, and mid-century inspired interiors.
