Male character swimming underwater in a swimming pool with mosaic walls. First of all, you need to know the little history of this painting... On vacation, we took photos (from above the swimming pool) in order to have documentation to create a future painting. The photos were taken with an iPhone and there was no possibility of photographing underwater. After seeing the photos taken on the surface, I realized that the subject was too distorted... But I wanted to have something more concrete, dynamic, with a slightly magical atmosphere, bubbles!
The solution was to create my own underwater scene: character, pose, swimming pool, bubbles.... So I created a 3D scene!
I printed it and it served as a basic document for painting. It’s clear that I thought a little of David Hockney when making this painting!
With this painting I play on three contrasts: The white of the ground, the warm color of the body and the cold of the background in blue mosaics. The composition is marked by the diagonal given by the direction of the body which crosses the painting.
The play of bubbles gives depth to the scene.
