These paintings was inspired by the northern lights—something that used to feel distant and rare, but lately, I’ve been lucky to see them shimmer right outside my bedroom window. Watching them feels magical, like nature is quietly showing off. I added a soft white stroke across the piece to represent the calm and happiness I felt in those moments. It’s my way of holding on to that peaceful joy, and sharing how something so vast and cosmic can bring comfort right into the most familiar space.
Why collect this work?
Horizontal board divisions and dragged bands interrupt the luminous green passages, making the aurora appear less like a seamless spectacle than a memory assembled in fragments.
- The artist describes the northern lights seen from a bedroom window as the work’s source, and identifies the pale stroke with calm and happiness. That intention helps explain the contrast between expansive light and a modest, familiar viewpoint.
- In the photograph, green forms flare against a dark field while fine blue traces disperse near the edges. A compact pale mark below centre acts as a quiet counterweight rather than a literal window, leaving landscape and interior reference unresolved.
- The documented acrylic on wooden boards permits broad, broken sweeps across separate horizontal supports. Their repeated joins check the paint’s lateral motion and give the image a measured, segmented rhythm.
- Made in 2025 at 40.6 by 50.8 cm, this painting is a focused encounter with how an immense atmospheric event can be compressed into the scale and structure of recollection.
