Description from the seller

About the work
Gyl presents here an underwater scene of poetic realism, characteristic of his work, featuring a young immersed woman depicted with remarkable anatomical precision. The light filtering through the water's surface reveals an exceptional mastery of reflections, volumes, and textures. The skin, modeled with softness and finesse, captures the shifting glints of the water, conveying an impression of immediate life.
The composition also demonstrates a keen sense of movement: the hair waves in the water with striking naturalness, just like the bubbles rising around the character. The chromatic play – dominated by shades of blue, turquoise, and warm red in the face – creates an immersive and harmonious atmosphere.
Gyl demonstrates here his ability to blend technical realism with aesthetic sensitivity. The transparency of the bubble held by the model, the optical distortion of the water, and the rendering of the floating fabrics reveal a high level of pictorial mastery. The overall work is both elegant, dynamic, and deeply controlled, where every detail contributes to an impression of grace and fluidity.
