"High Above" - Original acrylic painting of divers above the holds of a shipwreck

"High Above" - This painting shows two divers soaring above the beams of a cargo hold, marvelling at the wreck below them. The wreck has been reclaimed by the ocean, becoming an artificial reef teeming with vibrant marine life. My inspiration were the various wrecks of Truk Lagoon but this wreck represents so many other wrecks found in the world's oceans, transformed into a home for so much marine life. 

Schools of colourful fish swim amongst the beams, while delicate corals cover the surface, creating a mesmerizing underwater garden. The wreck, once a symbol of human industry and might, has been transformed by the power of nature into a beautiful and thriving ecosystem. 

I wanted to capture the wondrous results of this natural process, inviting the viewer to imagine themselves diving among the beams, exploring this unique underwater world.
