Original artwork description:

*UnderWater 6380*, a 2024 creation from Rubén Abstract, measures 60x80 cm and stands as a mesmerizing work in his *UnderWater* series. This piece invites viewers into a deep, serene underwater world, captured in vibrant layers of green and blue epoxy resin. The colors overlap and shift, creating an immersive effect that evokes both stillness and subtle motion, drawing viewers into an almost meditative state.

Crafted on a base of solid poplar wood, *UnderWater 6380* showcases Rubén’s mastery of a rare and challenging technique. The choice of poplar not only offers a sturdy foundation but complements the resin’s organic flow, grounding the dynamic waves above. With 11 carefully layered pours, Rubén adds depth that seems almost limitless, creating a striking 3D effect. Each layer is built upon the one before it, producing a sense of infinite space as though one were gazing into an endless body of water.

Working with epoxy resin demands immense patience and skill. Each layer, poured as a liquid, requires a full day to harden. Timing and precision are crucial, as every pour influences the layer beneath, shaping the final depth and vibrancy of the colors. In *UnderWater 6380*, Rubén pushes the limits of resin art, creating a piece that feels alive—its tones shifting gently with the light, evoking the changing shades of ocean depths.

*UnderWater 6380* is not just visually captivating but resonates on a deeper level. Inspired by Rubén’s fascination with water and introspection, the piece represents an exploration of depth, self-reflection, and discovery. Each layer symbolizes life’s experiences, building upon each other to shape a unique, one-of-a-kind whole.

Currently in Rubén’s Madrid studio, *UnderWater 6380* is ready for its next chapter in a collector’s space. This work is an invitation to immerse oneself in its calming depths, making it an extraordinary addition to any collection.
