Europe 30n 15w

Creative Rationale

This location sits over the Atlantic Ocean west of Morocco and the Canary Islands, where moderate winds and high humidity create dynamic atmospheric conditions. The moderate wind speed of 9.7 m/s drives energetic color splatters that burst outward from concentrated pools, while the high pressure creates dense accumulations of saturated pigment at the canvas edges. The relatively warm temperature anomaly translates to vivid primary colors—brilliant cadmium reds and ultramarine blues—that explode against luminous white negative space, embodying Francis's spontaneous gestural energy.
