Arctic 60n 90e

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean northeast of the Ob River delta in Siberia, extreme cold meets high humidity and moderate precipitation in a landscape of ice and tundra. The very low pressure system creates dense accumulations of saturated color that pool heavily at the canvas edges, while the moderate wind from the southeast drives energetic splatters and organic flows across the composition. The bitter cold temperature with its significant anomaly translates to muted earth tones punctuated by icy blue accents, with the high humidity adding a sense of atmospheric density and the precipitation creating flowing, liquid-like color movements that seem to drip and cascade.
