About this artwork
When you dive into the water, there are three extraordinary moments of lightness. First the impulse to rise in the air.

Life" by scientists is set up immediately: When our face comes into contact with water, the metamorphosis begins. The blood goes back to the hands and feet, the heartbeat slows down by 25% compared to normal. We are preparing to become an animal that is a little more aquatic and a little less terrestrial.
Finally, we are below. The opaque silence after the big splash. All the noises in the world are canceled ... In total lightness. We fly in zero gravity.

Self-taught, Antoine Renault explores acrylic on linen, fascinated by the ocean, summer and light. His technique mimics photorealism from afar, but reveals a pictorial abstraction up close, playing on light and reflections thanks to a minimal but vibrant palette, without ever touching on black. His works exude a deep serenity, capturing the tranquil magic of water and inviting meditative contemplation.
