This artwork is meticulously finished with a high gloss using premium-quality epoxy resin in my studio in Madrid (Spain) My journey with SWIMMERS began in 2019, inspired by my passion for triathlons. As I painted, I realized that the swimmer navigating against the currents mirrored my journey, finding purpose amidst life's challenges. I discovered resilience in the vast sea of existence, unfazed by passersby's opinions. By 2022, my artistic path became more defined, marked by a newfound clarity and ease. Through relentless experimentation over 19 months, I perfected the technique of merging perfectly defined silhouettes with pigmented epoxy resin. In the UNDERWATER 5000 SERIES, I depict a swimmer immersed in ethereal waters, brought to life with layers of translucent colours and 3D varnish. Each stroke symbolizes the dance of light penetrating the depths, capturing the serene tranquillity of underwater exploration. In February 2024, I recently unveiled the UNDERWATER 6000 SERIES, where the artwork's shape mirrors the silhouette of sunbeams piercing through the sea. Crafted entirely by hand in my studio in Madrid, each piece is a labour of love, inviting you to immerse yourself in its beauty.
