About The Artwork

The Ephemeral is an original oil on canvas from my ongoing series of the figure underwater. I worked with two models, fully clothed in a beautiful, big swimming pool in Australia to get my reference shots for the piece. I wanted to create an image that gives a sense of freedom and the size of the painting gives you a real feeling of immersion, like you are right there with the figures in the painting. Looking at it transports me to another world, there's a real feeling of escapism in this piece. There are some areas of tight detailed realistic painting to describe the figures as well as much looser, broader brushstrokes describing the space and water around them.
