About this artwork
Below the Surface"* is about the messy, necessary dive into the unknown—the place where you face the parts of yourself that don’t come up for air. It’s that deep space we all carry, the one we avoid until something calls us down, to explore what’s hidden. Most of this series soars, with birds breaking free, chasing dreams. But here, underwater, is where the real work begins. It’s the part of the journey no one talks about—the moments of stillness…
and chaos before you rise.
The colors, the shapes—they pulse with life that’s just waiting, biding its time. This piece is the pause before the leap. The reminder that before you can fly, you have to go deep, swim through the murky, beautiful waters of your unconscious, and find your courage there.

Renata Rush is a painter with a background in mechanical engineering and a lifelong engagement with the arts, exploring drawing, oil, and mixed media.
