Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean north of eastern Siberia, this desolate polar location experiences extreme cold with surprisingly high humidity and calm winds under low atmospheric pressure. The bitter -15.8°C temperature calls for muted, icy earth tones punctuated by sharp crystalline whites, while the gentle 2.6 m/s wind creates modest color dispersal rather than explosive energy. The extremely low pressure of 936 hPa drives heavy color accumulation at the canvas edges, leaving expansive luminous white space in the center to echo the sparse Arctic atmosphere.
