Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean north of Russia, where the Barents Sea meets the polar ice, extreme cold (-254°C) and high humidity create a crystalline atmospheric drama. The low pressure system and gentle southeasterly winds inspire a composition where muted, ice-touched colors pool at the canvas edges while luminous white space breathes in the center, capturing the stark beauty of this frozen maritime landscape. The substantial precipitation manifests as heavy color accumulations that seem to condense and freeze at the periphery.
