Reverse artist Richard Rowan wanted to resurrect a feeling of power and ambition through this piece and the beautifully detailed mountain represents his want to travel, climb and explore. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichard says: \"You can do anything, go anywhere, and see anything. The whole of nature is yours, it’s up to you what you do with it.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing a selection of ingenious techniques to create his intricate and atmospheric artworks, Richard first selects a piece of music which he associates with a particular time and place. This was 'Findings' by  August Willhelmsson for 'World Means You'. He then replays this music while he paints to evoke the surroundings and emotions he felt in the original landscape. At the same time, Richard uses his own revered technique of reverse painting onto glass. Starting with the foreground before painting backwards until all he can see is the vague strokes of his background, the artist is able to capture the minute details of stars against a raw backdrop of richly coloured skies; preserved within the layers of paint on glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover more about Richard's pioneering technique on \u003ca title=\"Painting on Glass with Richard Rowan\" href=\"\/en-ca\/blogs\/posts\/a-masterclass-to-painting-on-glass-with-richard-rowan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eour blog\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e or view this calming artwork alongside its partner \u003ca title=\"Set of 2 | Richard Rowan\" href=\"\/en-ca\/products\/richard-rowan-set-of-two-breathe-in-breathe-out-world-means-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard Rowan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56600314446173,"sku":"RRO-SLE-LAN-25382","price":1559.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/1906\/6461\/files\/world-means-you-rro_2022-12-22T16-56-00.jpg?v=1749468175","url":"https:\/\/www.castlefineart.com\/en-ca\/products\/richard-rowan-world-means-you-1626780950","provider":"Castle Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
