Twilight Wraith Rider
Acrylic Painting on Canvas – 40x32” (101x81cm)

Twilight Wraith Rider draws you into a world where motion becomes myth and the snowboarder transforms into a creature of light, shadow, and drifting winter air. In this striking piece, Stuart Leonard captures a rider carved out of darkness, his silhouette erupting from a storm of swirling pinks, violets, and spectral whites. The background pulses with kinetic energy — a blizzard of splatters and sweeping brushstrokes that seem to crackle with electricity — as if the mountain itself were alive and responding to his movement.

The snowboarder’s form is powerful but ghostlike, rendered in bold, fluid strokes that suggest both strength and impermanence. He appears suspended between worlds, half-human, half-elemental, emerging from the storm as a figure shaped by instinct and the raw pulse of winter. This is snowboarding not as sport, but as transformation — the moment where speed, solitude, and surrender converge into something almost supernatural.

Twilight Wraith Rider radiates atmosphere and energy, making it a captivating centrepiece for lovers of winter sports, wilderness, or contemporary art with a dark, ethereal edge. It’s a piece that invites you to step into the swirling silence of the mountain night and follow the wraith into the storm.
