About this artwork
Float Acrylic & pastel on wood panel 30 × 30 cm A body drifts through blue water, cropped mid-motion. Legs bent, arms extended, the figure is caught in a moment of effortless suspension—neither rising nor sinking. The amber swimsuit glows against the cool pool tones, scattered with soft, playful dots like light made visible. Skin and water blend through layered pastel and translucent acrylic, dissolving edges and softening gravity. This work is about lightness. Not just of the body, but of being. The figure is free from destination, moving without urgency. It is a painting about trust—trust in buoyancy, in the moment, in the idea that you do not always have to hold yourself up. Float captures the poetry of in-between states: between breath and motion, between control and surrender. It invites the viewer into that suspended space where effort disappears and presence takes over. Original, one-of-a-kind artwork. Signed by the artist. Unframed. This painting can be framed with or without glass.

About the artist
Mixed-media artist. Color lover. Storyteller. Born and raised in South Africa and now living in Cyprus, I hold a degree in Fine Art from the University of the Witwatersrand. I paint in acrylic, pastel, watercolor, pencil, and ink. Canvas and wood often feature but paper is my first love. Working primarily from photos, I often manipulate images digitally to create a new composition and then paint. I’ve exhibited in Cyprus, London, and Athens and my collectors live in countries around the world.
