A vision of northern light and solitude, Effet nordique captures the quiet drama of a waterfront city imagined through memory. Painted alla prima with Arcelin’s characteristic fluidity, the work fuses architecture, water, and sky into a single atmospheric field. The red façade anchors the composition, while light and reflection dissolve the scene into pure emotion — a meditation on space, silence, and the poetry of imagined places.
