Antarctica is a painters dream.
It's like discovering a new world of unforgiving beauty, a giant in scale, with shapes reduced to basic raw elements. Colours of ice so subtle,
translucent and fragile inhabited by innocent curious creatures that have no fear of us.
The recent works on this page are inspired by a Semi-Circumnavigation Expedition by Icebreaker
around Antarctica and a Emperor penguin rookery expedition. These took place from November 2,
(spring time down south) to December 12, and departed from the Cape Horn of South America and ending in
New Zealand. This spectacular and remote journey was made only possible by a polar class icebreaker, the Kapitan
Klebnikov for Quark Expeditions.
Larger Studio paintings from this journey will be posted soon.
