A breathtaking dive into the blue

Gustavo Silva Nuñez is an artist based in Valencia, Venezuela. He creates incredibly lifelike paintings of people swimming in water that appear three-dimensional due to a particular use of light and reflections. 

With a stroke of the brush Gustavo manages to capture every little detail, all shades of blue, sparkling flashes of light, the distortion of bodies under water, myriads of waves.

To add to the realism, he poses next to the paintings in strikingly interactive ways, making it look as though he is shielding himself from the splashes or is about to to dive into the water.
