Collection: Swimmers (2024)


This collection captures the quiet strangeness of being submerged—physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Each painting lingers in a suspended moment beneath the surface, where light bends, sound dulls, and bodies float somewhere between control and surrender. Stylistically, the works shift between realism and abstraction, clarity and blur—mirroring the way perception changes underwater. Whether it’s the fragmented face in Waver or the upward reach in Surface Tension, each piece captures a threshold: a moment where something is about to change, but hasn’t yet.
