Aurora borealis #3 by Cinthia P

Aurora borealis #3 by Cinthia Ponce - For these works made with acrylic paint I was inspired by the aurora borealis. When these particles reach the Earth's magnetic shield, they are attracted to an area around the North Pole, known as the auroral belt. There they come into contact with the upper atmosphere, the layers of ozone, oxygen and other materials that protect our planet. The energy that comes out of them is what we see as aurora borealis. All this happens about 100 kilometers above our heads. The enormous energy charge of the auroras, which contain an infinite number of atoms and molecules, is the reason we get to see them so clearly.
