This week’s featured artwork is Ice by NiŃk Murenets, which uses a split complementary color harmony to create a breathtakingly subtle yet striking palette. Yellow serves as the key color, providing warmth and contrast against the cooler cyan and desaturated blue-violet tones that dominate the icy environment.
The restrained use of color here beautifully captures the quiet elegance of the scene. The desaturated blue-violet adds depth and texture, while the cyan highlights bring a sense of clarity and light. This harmony showcases how even a subtle palette can evoke wonder and drama, turning an icy landscape into a mesmerizing visual experience.
