UnderWater 6348 Painting

This artwork is finished with a high gloss using high-quality epoxy resin, applied onto a birch wood surface. When I started painting SWIMMERS in 2019 due to my passion for triathlons, I realised that that swimmer going against the grain was me, feeling the purpose for which I've come to this life, without being vulnerable to the comments of those who cross our path IN THE SEA OF LIVE. In 2022, I began to feel an inner state of less struggle as I solidified my profession as an artist. I wanted to understand how to create perfectly defined silhouettes that would merge using pigmented epoxy resin, so I dedicated 19 months to trial and error. The layers of colours in UNDERWATER come together to symbolize the dance of rays of light penetrating the water, capturing the profound tranquillity experienced while diving into THE SEA OF LIVE. Although SWIMMERS has reached over 300 collectors from 34 different countries and has been exhibited in New York, Hong Kong, Taiwan, London, Amsterdam, Madrid, Hamburg, and several other major cities, I always have the feeling that this new life I have dared to live as an artist has done nothing but begin. I will rest only when the message conveyed by SWIMMERS and UNDERWATER reaches the world. A statement that reminds us that we must be ourselves authentically and honestly, following our most personal instinct. I love how the ocean, the sea, represents life's behaviour, with its water full of current and temperature changes. Sometimes, a rainbow appears in the background, or we look to the other side and see the coast, the sand, the waves, and palm trees. At times, we have a light gifted by the sun with a clear blue sky, while other times, we have an overcast sky and rain.
