Original artwork description:

Acrylic, recycled fabric & epoxy resin on wood
60 x 60 cm | One-of-a-kind piece
Base color: aquamarine

In this UnderWater work, a single swimmer moves against the flow — a figure of quiet defiance and strength. Created on aquamarine-painted wood, the piece fuses acrylic paint, recycled textiles, and layers of epoxy resin, inviting us into a conversation between texture, light, and motion.

That swimmer isn’t just an image — it’s a metaphor. For choosing your own pace when the world pushes you. For building a life outside the current. For fighting through illness, grief, burnout, doubt, or pressure. It’s about resilience, and about grace. It’s about not giving up when you’re alone in the lane.

This is a piece for those who’ve started over. For those still swimming. For those who know that going against the current isn’t just rebellion — it’s identity.

Crafted in Madrid by Rubén, this unique artwork is part of a contemporary art practice rooted in movement, material, and meaning. It speaks to collectors, curators, designers, and art lovers who seek more than decoration — they seek presence.
