About the work

Emerging from the depths of imagination and the stillness of the sea, Atlantis - The City of the Undersea Water Gamesinvites the viewer into a submerged world where myth, memory, and energy converge. Painted in the Algarve, Portugal, this monumental work unfolds as a luminous equilibrium of movement, color, and vibration - suspended between legend and lived experience. Echoes of Plato’s ancient writings resonate through the composition, re-imagined through a contemporary lens. While Plato situated Atlantis beyond the Pillars of Hercules in the Atlantic, this vision drifts closer to the Mediterranean - toward Crete - where sirens, sea myths, and modern reinterpretations, including the mythic universe of God of War, quietly intersect. The sea becomes both guardian and storyteller, concealing timeless knowledge beneath cascading layers of turquoise, gold, and deep oceanic blue. From a distance, the painting reads like an ancient underwater aquarium - a living portal populated by dreamlike forms, floating harmonies, and celestial motion. Its vast horizontal scale amplifies a sense of balance and flow, evoking an advanced undersea civilization held in perfect equilibrium between divine energy and serene beauty. More than an image, Atlantis - The City of the Undersea Water Games carries the vibration of water, mythology, and the unknown. It is an oceanic threshold - an invitation to remember that imagination itself is the bridge between worlds.
