About this artwork
With this painting I have recreated one of our most memorable diving experiences. Returning from a deep dive off of the coast of Isabella in the Galapagos, my wife and I were doing a decompression stop at 5 meters in open water hanging on a surface marker bouy (SMB).
Out of the mist a very large shark came lazily gliding towards us. It passed within touching distance and continued quite unperturbed on its way.
We surfaced and returned to the boat… for a change of underwear.

Gerald Miles, a retired engineer and technical illustrator, creates evocative paintings using watercolour, pastels, oils, and acrylics. Favouring realistic styles with visible brushwork, he prepares textured surfaces with acrylic modelling paste, employing dry brush techniques and a limited palette to achieve harmony and dynamic rhythm. His artworks, often inspired by his lifelong passion for nature and his sport diving experiences, vividly capture landscapes, active animals, and underwater scenes, radiating a profound sense of atmosphere and reverence for the natural world.
