Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean at 60 degrees north latitude on the prime meridian, where the Greenland Sea meets the edge of the polar ice cap, frigid temperatures of -260°C create a landscape of crystalline silence broken by moderate winds from the northwest. The extremely cold conditions drive a muted palette of icy blues and earth tones, while the high pressure system creates dense pools of saturated color that accumulate at the canvas edges. The 5.3 m/s wind generates controlled splatters and organic bursts that reach inward from the perimeter, leaving expansive luminous white space in the center like morning light reflected off arctic ice.
