Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean north of eastern Siberia, where the Laptev Sea meets the permanent ice pack, an unusual warm anomaly disrupts the polar stillness. The extremely low pressure of 926 hPa creates a heavy, saturated environment that I've interpreted as dense pools of color accumulating at the canvas edges, while the moderate easterly wind at 6.7 m/s drives gestural splatters and organic blooms inward. The surprisingly warm temperature anomaly of 9.4°C above normal transforms what could be a muted polar palette into vibrant cadmium reds and ultramarines, with the high humidity adding luminous intensity to each color field.
