Arctic 70n 20e

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean northeast of Svalbard, where sea ice meets open water under the pale polar sun, extreme cold temperatures of -265°C create a crystalline atmospheric environment. The moderate wind from the west-northwest and high humidity with light precipitation inspire dense clusters of steely blues and winter whites, while the stable high pressure allows luminous ground to breathe through the gestural marks. This harsh arctic landscape translates into energetic brushwork that captures the memory of ice, wind, and the ethereal quality of polar light.
