Suspended in liquid light, a young man moves with quiet determination through the underwater realm. Viewed from below, his torso cuts through the water with purposeful grace, chin angled away as he navigates his aquatic world, transformed into a figure of classical beauty caught between surface and depth.
The composition divides between the shimmering water's surface above and the shared space of open ocean and sandy bottom below. Free markings dance across his chest where bright sun penetrates the water, creating shifting patterns of light. The palette of muted French blue flows through aqua highlights and rust accents, capturing the warm filtration of afternoon sun and the intimate solitude of the swimmer's journey.

"A Day at the Beach" presents a series of paintings that chronicle the shifting colours, moods, and activities that define different moments of a beach day. From the soft anticipation of dawn to the vibrant energy of midday, each painting captures a specific time and feeling—the colours and atmosphere of 6:37am will be vastly different from those at 11:42am or 2:42pm. This exhibition celebrates the full spectrum of experiences that the beach offers, honoring both the quiet contemplative moments and the joyful bursts of activity that make each visit unique.
