The artwork before you is a vibrant and dynamic representation of a school of fish, seamlessly blending the realms of abstraction and realism. The central focus of the piece is a mesmerizing assembly of elongated, red-orange fish, their sleek forms and synchronized movement beautifully captured against a backdrop of tranquil, turquoise water. The artist's deft use of bold, contrasting colors enhances the sense of motion and vitality, with the sharp hues of the fish creating a striking juxtaposition against the more subdued, yet richly textured, aquatic background. The brushwork is expressive and vigorous, each stroke contributing to the illusion of fluidity and dynamism. The fish are detailed enough to discern individual characteristics, yet there is a deliberate blurring in places that evokes the flurry and rush of a tightly packed school moving through water. This combination of detailed and impressionistic elements not only adds depth and complexity to the composition but also invites viewers to feel immersed in the bustling underwater scene. Light and shadow play crucial roles in this piece, the artist's expert application creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The eye is naturally drawn to the brighter, highlighted fish at the center, which appear almost to glow with an inner light, before wandering to the more shadowed and subtly colored fish at the edges of the group. This careful modulation of luminosity adds a palpable sense of three-dimensionality and movement, suggesting the shimmering, ever-changing interplay of light underwater. Moreover, there is a harmonious balance in the composition. The fish are arranged in a dynamic, swirling pattern that guides the viewer's gaze in a rhythmic, almost hypnotic dance, echoing the natural, fluid motions found in marine life. This intricate choreography suggests both unity and individuality within the group, a testament to the artist's nuanced understanding of both form and movement. Overall, this artwork is a compelling fusion of vivid color, dynamic composition, and expressive technique. It brilliantly captures the essence of underwater life, offering a vibrant snapshot of the natural world that is both captivating and thought-provoking. The piece stands as an impressive example of how contemporary artistry can evoke the timeless beauty and dynamism of nature.

Presentation
The main focus of my painting is underwater marine life.
Underwater I have learnt not only about the many life-forms, but the shapes and colors of everything in that realm continue to blow my mind. After diving, when at home I work hard to remember what I have just seen underwater – and what I remember is not always exactly what I wish to show - this realization led me to underwater painting – taking a slow exposure photograph right next to my subject.
I have been working as a dive instructor in Egypt for the last 5 years. I absolutely fell in love with the Red Sea, with its beautiful and colorful underwater life, spectacular drop-off views and magnificent coral reefs. I love to take underwater pictures but I feel as well that it is not enough to communicate my admiration for the Red Sea. I realize I can do it only through my soul – through my painting. And the best way to feel inspiration it is to be there, to be a part of marine life, to be immersed in the underwater environment.
Painting underwater is completely different from traditional painting above the surface. When I am underwater I feel the ocean energy and unity with nature, silence around, only I can hear my breathing and sometimes fish rambling. It is easy to enter a trance state when painting underwater. Rays from the sun penetrating through the water are magical - you can see and feel that this is the point where two different worlds intersect and mix – and this is a favorite subject to reflect in my paintings.
I believe that with my paintings more people will fall in love with the world of the sea, and become involved in the protection of our oceans for future generations to enjoy and wonder at. That is what I wish to come of these works and this experience in my life.
