Arctic 70n 20w
Creative Rationale
Over the Greenland Sea in the high Arctic, where pack ice meets open water under the polar night, extreme atmospheric forces create a landscape of both violence and beauty. The powerful 16.6 m/s winds from the north drive my composition with bold, sweeping gestures that streak across the canvas like Richter's squeegee marks, while the moderate low pressure and extraordinary temperature anomaly of +19.5K above normal manifest as dense, layered color fields in deep blues and surprising warm undertones. The near-saturated humidity of 94% translates into thick, paint-like textures that seem to blur and blend at their edges, creating the sense of revelation and concealment that defines Richter's abstract works.
