Waltzing underwater (2025)Acrylic painting
by Francesca Borgo

Waltzing Underwater is a luminous abstract painting inspired by the shifting rhythms of the sea. Born from a memory of swimming in a secluded bay in Mauritius, it reflects the feeling of immersion, serenity, and the timeless pulse of water moving with light.

The composition unfolds in layered forms of blue, teal, and soft white, suggesting waves dissolving into air and mist. Subtle tonal transitions capture both calm and energy, while textured details evoke the ebb and flow of ocean currents. The piece balances stillness with motion, offering viewers a meditative space that mirrors the sea’s dual nature—gentle yet powerful.

Created with acrylic, resin, binder, and natural sand, the surface has a tactile, sculptural quality that responds beautifully to light. Waltzing Underwater makes a striking focal point for contemporary, coastal, or minimalist interiors, bringing elegance, depth, and a sense of connection to nature.
