Creative Rationale

Over the North Atlantic, roughly 600 miles west of the Portuguese coast, powerful winds tear across turbulent waters beneath a heavy, moisture-laden atmosphere. The moderate low pressure system and strong northwesterly winds create a scene of raw oceanic energy, while the cool temperatures and high humidity speak to the wild, untamed nature of this maritime region. I've translated this atmospheric drama into layered, gestural marks that sweep across the canvas like wind-driven spray, using muted blues and grays punctuated by warmer earth tones to capture both the storm's power and the underlying warmth anomaly in the system.
