Original artwork description:

Oil on canvas, 50 × 70 cm (19.7 × 27.6 in)
A hush of northern light pours across a small fishing village, turning snow and water into a single shimmering plane. Thick, confident impasto sculpts the cliff’s rugged face and the wooden rorbu houses, while delicate, translucent glazes capture the aurora’s ghostly choreography above. The painting balances the raw stillness of Arctic rock with a restless sky — a moment where geological time and ephemeral light meet.
This work is not a landscape of facts but of feeling: the cobalt hush of twilight, the metallic green of an auroral breath, the worn geometry of human shelter clinging to the shore. Brushwork alternates between blade-like palette knife marks that describe texture and softer strokes that suggest atmosphere, inviting the viewer to step close and read the paint as topography. It’s a study in contrasts — permanence and flux, solitude and quiet community — rendered with appetite for color and tactility.
Perfect for a space that welcomes storytelling through texture and hue, this painting rewards long looks and offers a quiet kind of warmth beneath a cold sky.
