Iceberg IV

Iceberg IV

The paintings were made around the theme of “water”, with the images of an “iceberg” I want to show water in all its physical forms and at the meantime draw attention to the effects of global warming in my own way. A journey above the Arctic Circle (Svalbard / Spitsbergen) made me aware of the vulnerability of this inhospitable ecosystem.

The icebergs depicted are huge pieces of frozen freshwater that had broken off from glaciers and slowly melting into the "salty" seawater.
