Gregory Petan's black-and-white nude captures a serene, almost surreal moment of a woman submerged, her reflection suspended beneath her in an ethereal mirror. Set on a long, narrow canvas, the painting emphasizes the fluidity and distortion of the human form when water becomes a natural lens. Inspired by the soft interplay of light and shadow, Petan’s work explores themes of duality—self and reflection, surface and depth. His careful rendering captures the tranquil solitude of this underwater world, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in the gentle, undulating lines and the quiet introspection of the scene.
