Original artwork description:

*UnderWater 6400*, 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 lush, vibrant world of layered depth, captured in rich shades of green and lime epoxy resin. The colors blend and shift, creating an immersive effect that evokes both tranquility and subtle energy, drawing viewers into an almost meditative state.

Crafted on a base of solid poplar wood, *UnderWater 6400* 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 layers above. With 11 carefully layered pours, Rubén adds depth that seems almost limitless, creating a striking 3D effect. Each layer builds upon the previous one, producing a sense of infinite space, as though one were gazing into a vivid, underwater oasis.

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 6400*, Rubén pushes the limits of resin art, creating a piece that feels alive—its green and lime tones shifting gently with the light, evoking the lush shades of an underwater forest.

*UnderWater 6400* is not just visually captivating but resonates on a deeper level. Inspired by Rubén’s fascination with nature 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 6400* is ready for its next chapter in a collector’s space. This work is an invitation to immerse oneself in its vibrant depths, making it an extraordinary addition to any collection.
