Original artwork description:

This painting captures a moment where time seems to pause. A young woman stands at the edge of a diving board, her white dress shifting in a light breeze. The vast cobalt sky, broken only by a single drifting cloud, intensifies the stillness around her. She appears caught between hesitation and courage, preparing not just for a dive but for a symbolic step into the unknown.
The gentle tilt of her body, the quiet focus in her posture, and the soft light on the folds of her dress draw the viewer into her emotional space. This connection turns the scene into a reflection of our own moments of transition — the calm before change, the beauty of uncertainty, the quiet strength it takes to move forward.
The minimalist composition allows every detail to stand out with clarity. The crisp whites, the sculptural flow of the fabric, and the clean lines of the poolside create a balanced harmony between realism and subtle surrealism. This simplicity invites viewers to project their own stories onto the scene, making the artwork both visually compelling and personally resonant. The result is not merely an image, but a narrative that continues to unfold over time.
Dutch acrylic paints Amsterdam tm and Italian canvas by Unico were used. The finish is satin varnish, and the edges are painted in the background color. This painting is created on a pre-stretched canvas on a wooden frame. It is carefully packed in a cardboard box with layers of bubble wrap. The artwork is signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
