Arctic Light

by artist Natalie Holstad

The Arctic Light series captures the serene beauty of northern light through abstract interpretation.

Dagen I reflects the calm, cool quiet of the northern morning. The soft polar light awakens the landscape, creating a tranquil and ethereal atmosphere that invites contemplation and stillness.

Dagen II interprets the majestic glow of the northern afternoon. The serene light of the Arctic reflects the landscape in a soul-calming way, conveying the quiet grandeur and timeless beauty of the region.

Natt captures the vast, deep quiet of the northern night sky. The awe-inspiring light echoes the expanse of the Nordic waters and the infinite universe above. The darkness is so profound that it feels as though you could reach out and touch the stars, evoking wonder and reflection.

Together, the series celebrates the shifting light and moods of the Arctic day and night, offering a visual meditation on the tranquil power and timeless beauty of the northern landscape.
