This is an incredible painting.  I initially saw it as a non-objective piece, with a propensity towards dualism it it’s split, or cleaved halves.  The tall brown modeled masses read as monolithic freestanding forms before being deciphered as ensconced cliff faces.  But it’s the realistic figure at the base of the tight gap of light within the landscape that creates tremendous juxtaposition of scale and implication.  The empathetic sensation of the figures awe and simultaneous feeling of insignificance are felt within the magnitude of the composition.   While the small figure is exquisitely but universally painted, there’s an inexplicable feeling of Romanticism to the scene.  It’s as if the sky and horizon could be somehow dated; or maybe just the idealized attitude towards nature itself recalls a more optimistic and hopeful time.  Seeing it in the context of your other figurative paintings, one can see the relationship between empty space and overwhelming positive space to convey ideas of isolation or self-reflection.  But the abstraction of the other paintings, often with jewel toned backgrounds, allow for some psychological detachment.  The floating lone figures could be imagined rather than grounded to the earth.

I love this type of composition, where massive forms give way to a crevasse of light. I've used it many times in my more hard-edged minimal style but the space feels similar...yours is more organic, delicious earthy tones...love this.
