“Breath, life, vitality of the spirit.” That is the essence of prAna, an international brand in rock climbing and other sport clothing. That essence is perfectly aligned to that of my rock climbing painting titled Ascent. My painting expresses the intense spirit and experience of this sport: the view of the summit, the strategy, the pain, the aspiration to redpoint.

Just for fun, I created a time-lapse video of the painting development, and incorporated rock climbing video starring Chris Sharma provided by prAna. Chris Sharma, prAna ambassador in Spain, is a world-loved, professional rock climber superstar. Thanks Chris! And thanks to prAna for providing the amazing video of Chris Sharma and for tweeting my artwork.
