Bold, contemplative, and powerfully atmospheric, this limited edition artwork by Richard Blunt captures a moment of pure introspection.

A lone figure stands before a sweeping city skyline, hands in pockets, poised between ambition and reflection. Blunt’s cinematic eye brings the scene to life through rich contrasts, moody tones, and a strong sense of narrative — a moment where success is not measured by height or horizon, but by inner resolve.

Each edition is hand-embellished with genuine gold leaf, adding a luxurious, radiant finish that subtly illuminates the city lights and elevates the drama within the piece. This meticulous handwork ensures that no two artworks are ever the same, each one carrying its own unique shimmer and texture.

The emotional core of the piece is echoed in The Summit, a poem written by the artist to accompany the work:

“So here I stand, the man, the myth,
The sum of what I see.
The dream is not above the smoke,
It burns inside of me.

I don’t chase ghosts, or beg the rain,
I call the sun by name.
Assume the crown before it fits,
And mirrors speak the same.

This suit won’t make the man I wear,
This old familiar skin,
I build my world by how I stare,
The summit lies within.”

Perfectly framed and crafted with elegance, this artwork makes a striking statement in both modern and classic interiors. It is a piece that speaks to ambition, self-belief, and the quiet moments where decisions are made — reminding us that the greatest heights are often reached from within.  Each piece has the poem on the back of the artwork.
