Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean at the intersection of the Prime Meridian and 60 degrees North, where the Greenland Sea meets the edge of the polar ice cap, intense atmospheric forces are at play. The moderate wind speed of 10.5 m/s from the west-southwest drives color outward in confident splatters, while the high pressure system creates dense pools of saturated pigment that accumulate around the canvas edges. The extremely cold temperature of 13.5°C translates into a palette dominated by icy blues and muted earth tones with crystalline white accents, while the high humidity of 92% adds a sense of atmospheric weight and density to the color fields.
