"Swimrise" carries a special inspiration, drawing from the resilience and commitment of individuals who embraced ocean swimming during lockdown. Your friend's dedication to capturing the beauty of these morning swims through photos becomes the foundation for your artistic creations.

The collaborative effort, where you transform your friend's images into paintings, adds a unique layer to the artistic process. It's a beautiful synergy between photography and painting, capturing the essence of the ocean and the invigorating act of morning swims. The fact that the original found its new home in Greystones earlier in the year adds a touch of fulfillment, knowing that your creation has become a cherished piece in someone else's space.

"Swimrise" becomes more than a painting; it's a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, the beauty of nature, and the collaborative energy that fuels creativity. Each brushstroke is a celebration of those who found solace and inspiration in the ocean during challenging times.
