Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean at 60°N latitude on the prime meridian, frigid air masses collide with relatively warm currents, creating dynamic atmospheric tension. The extreme cold temperature of -260°F drives a palette of muted earth tones and icy blues, while the moderate 6.5 m/s wind from the west-northwest creates controlled splattering rather than explosive chaos. The high pressure system concentrates color pools at the composition's edges, leaving expansive luminous white space in the center to breathe, echoing Sam Francis's late period works where negative space becomes as powerful as the painted areas.
