Spiral swimmers
About This Work
This oil painting depicts a male and female in a swimming motion. Their silhouettes against the cool toned colours of the background create harmony and produce a calming environment among the swirls. The titanium white spiral and orb contrasting against the background colours draw attention to the middle, while purposefully bringing the viewers attention around the painting in a spiral motion, creating movement in the piece. The smaller white dots and swirls surrounding the white orb help transition the harsh shapes with the blended background.
