Arctic 60n 40e

Creative Rationale

This location sits in the Arctic Ocean north of Scandinavia, where extreme cold meets nearly saturated air in a harsh, unforgiving landscape. The brutal -260°C temperature and low pressure system create a visceral environment that demands aggressive, slashing marks in icy greys and blacks, while the near-complete humidity and precipitation manifest as diluted color pools cutting through thick gestural passages. The gentle wind allows for some broader fluid movements between violent diagonal cuts across the canvas.
