Original artwork description:

In 'TAKING A BREAK', a serene moment of familial bonding is captured beneath the shimmering surface of a swimming pool. The predominant aqua tones, gracefully blended with soothing white and accented by subtle black, create an ethereal underwater world that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquillity of this unique aquatic scene.

The composition revolves a child and a woman, their legs hanging gracefully in the clear, rippling water. The subtle play of light and shadow on the tiles adds depth and mimics the dance of sunlight filtering through the water's surface.

The woman and child sit side by side, their limbs submerged in the weightless embrace of the pool. The water gently distorts their forms, giving the scene an almost dreamlike quality.

The overall atmosphere is one of calm and unity, as the aqua colors evoke a sense of peaceful fluidity. The viewer is transported into a world where time seems to stand still, allowing a contemplative appreciation of the simple yet profound beauty in the bond between parent and child.
