After a storm on a black volcanic sand beach in Iceland, waves crash, and winds whip the foam into the air. In the background, a lone mountain peak rises against the brooding sky. The striking contrast between the spume and the dark sand reminded me of Pierre Soulages’ "Outrenoirs" paintings—light emerging from darkness. This scene captures the raw, moody essence of Iceland's untamed landscape, where dramatic highlights reveal the interplay between nature’s fury and beauty.
