The artwork was commissioned for a boy with a deep affection for octopuses and sealife. The painting portrays a stunning coral reef teeming with life, set underwater with crystal-clear ocean backdrop and vibrant corals in various shapes and sizes forming the foreground. The busy lives of the marine creatures that call the corals home are captured with brightly coloured fish, playful clownfish, and a majestic octopus with long tentacles exploring the surrounding corals. The vivid and saturated colours transport the viewer to a familiar yet strange underwater world, celebrating the rich and diverse life that exists beneath the ocean’s surface and reminding us of the fragility and wonder of our planet’s ecosystems.

Jeff Dillon the Canadian Artist, inspired by the bold colours and brush strokes of Post-Impressionist Artists. His unique style focuses on capturing light, not through the detail of realism, but with gesture, illusion, shape and colour. He offers a personal and distinctive style to the world through his bold use of colours and lines, often symbolic images or subject matter. Objects in the paintings retain their realistic appearance yet have a vibrancy and fluidity about them, unique to his work. Jeff Dillon’s new expression of Post-Impressionism is both beloved and revered in the Canadian and Global Contemporary Art World.
