Anne Wölk's mountain landscapes translate the overwhelming beauty of the stars in our night sky into the language of painting. Her subject matter deals with the representation of light in various ways and explores its role in the cultural history of man.
In general, light is associated with metaphors such as knowledge and liveliness, e.g., light and darkness as symbols for good versus evil. Brightness stands for the sublime or the presence of the divine in the history of Old Master paintings.
Aurora Borealis shines red, green, or purple in the northern hemisphere. Its presence is one of the remarkable natural phenomena and spectacles of our world.
Not only is it enthralling to witness and scientifically crucial, but it's quite emotionally moving as well.
The magical, colorful lights remind us of the earth's strong magnetic field. A protective magnetic field is viewed as essential for life, not only on our planet. The further north you travel, the higher the chance of seeing the aurora. Above the Arctic Circle (66 ° 33'N), one can experience the mysteriously beautiful and gracefully dancing lights most intensely. Norway and Svalbard are the best destinations to see the Aurora Borealis.
