This artwork captures the intense energy of the Meltemi, a mighty Aegean wind, using torn cast paper glazed with cool blues, vibrant turquoise, and whites mixed with mica to enhance its reflectiveness. The composition recalls the sea's turbulence (Antimamalos in Greek) to reflect the relentless force and movement as wind and waves collide. The interplay of these colors evokes the dynamic tension and brisk coolness of the Meltemi, where nature's raw power is fully displayed. Drawing from the dramatic intensity of Baroque art and the expressive spontaneity of Abstract Expressionism, this piece embodies the formidable strength of natural forces.
