Diving 31 images Created 6 Oct 2022

What has always amazed me is when people get to a pool they undergo a transformation. Not only of attire but their whole attitude changes when they get near the water. They become more graceful. In this series I wish to depict this amazement.

  • This Painting of two women on a diving platform by Jan Keteleer depicts two women jumping into the sky from a diving board. This colorful piece depicts a dive into the deep blue sky. The vibrant colors of the work to bring out the warmth of summer. Other pieces have a retro style that adds to their personality. While this is a fun piece, it can also be intimidating.<br />
<br />
The diving board is a recurring motif in Keteleer's art, and he has captured this idea in this painting of two women on a diving board. The two women are scuba divers, and this painting shows their enthusiasm for the sport. In fact, the two women are so happy they don't even notice that they're on a diving board! <br />
<br />
The diving board depicts two women in a diving pool, and their diving suits accentuate their bodies. In contrast, the two women are depicted on the board in different poses. The two women are on separate boards. They have their arms and legs extended. Their faces are fully defined in black. The woman is wearing a diving cap and a swimming suit. The dive board is on the roof of the house. The woman on the diving board is on the diving board, and they are smiling.

  • Everyone knows the zwebad series by British artist David Hockney and yes, this work is based on it. However, I would like to add something naughty. The water of the pool is wrinkle-free and neatly taut. The rim of the pool and the walls are immaculate. Only one text has been added to the wall. It says that it is forbidden to dive into the pool. We can only guess why.<br />
<br />
The woman in the sculpture takes no notice of the ban and dives into the water with a big splash.<br />
<br />
Life would be boring if you followed all the rules, so dive and jump into life is so much more pleasant.<br />
<br />
It is also a symbol of the lives of many women who have to walk in step all the time.<br />
Why? Because that is what men want? No, ladies, go for it.

  • The image of a woman looking down from a diving board shows a beautiful young woman poised to jump into the clear blue sky. This painting has inspired conversation among lovers of classic art, as well as contemporary art enthusiasts. It is a beautiful, serene painting, which evokes a feeling of peace and serenity. The painting is a classic example of the "action" genre. It features a woman in a relaxed pose, expecting someone to say something interesting. <br />
<br />
A diving board is a tool that enables people to take a plunge. A dive board is a piece of equipment designed to aid people in achieving their goals of deep sea exploration. A diving board is usually made of wood, which is durable and easy to clean.

  • I took the work of the British artist David Hockney as my inspiration for this painting. <br />
<br />
Here you see a girl in a bikini jumping into a swimming pool with her nose pinched. A cheerful and summery everyday scene, you might say. But there is more to it.<br />
If you look closely, you will notice that the water in the pool is wrinkle-free and mirror-like; the pool surround is smooth and the wall is clean except for a text. The text reads "No diving".<br />
The girl is dressed in a bikini, but a demure one like that of the 1950s. <br />
The whole scene is symbolic of life. Many of us face choices in life. They can just stand there and there is nothing wrong with that. The water, the life, will still be wrinkle-free. They can go on, respecting the prohibition sign, and that is OK. <br />
But you can also respect this prohibition sign, so not diving, by suddenly jumping. With your nose pinched, because you don't know what's going to happen next.<br />
<br />
So this scene is about the choices in life that you have to make.

  • The paintings of a woman sitting on a diving board in the summer is one of my favorites. This was painted by the great artist, Jan Keteleer during this year 2021. This particular oil painting has an extremely realistic appearance and has a very pleasant look to it. Although the subject of the painting is a woman, the style of the painting is so much different than any other art work that it would appear to have been executed by a woman. It truly depicts the feeling that one gets when they are enjoying the summer with friends and family.<br />
<br />
Again, this work of art is so much different than any other painting that I have seen. The colors and the overall theme of the painting really brought life to me when I was viewing it. The colors were bright and there was an overall sense of freshness about the work that made it a joy to look at for all of summer.

  • Inspired by the pool series by British artist David Hockney, I made this painting.<br />
<br />
You see a girl in a bathing suit at the edge of a pool; She is standing there all alone and you can see her hesitating; She feels like diving into the water but there is a text on the wall. Please do not jump it is written in red letters. The girl doubts whether she will follow the request not to jump. However, she is already slightly bent over ready to jump into the cooling water.<br />
<br />
This painting seems an innocent everyday scene but I want to express something deeper. <br />
<br />
The pool has a wrinkle-free water surface which symbolizes life in a carefree society. The girl stands on the edge of this life. She knows that if she jumps there are going to be waves in this life and the text next to hate holds a warning. Don't do it says the text. The girl does not know what the consequences are going to be if she jumps into life recklessly. She hesitates. Is she going to obediently follow the advice and have a secure safe and boring future, Or does she jump?<br />
<br />
This is the question we all ask ourselves at one time or another.<br />
<br />
Do I do it or don't I do it?

Keteleer is best known for his paintings in the nudes, which you can see throughout his career.

  • A Portrait of a Colored Man on a Diving Board was created by artist Jan Keteleer during the summer. The theme of this oil painting, which depicts a man with his arms spread and his face partially hidden, was originally done for an exhibit that Keteleer was involved with at the Saatchi Gallery in London. The title "A Portrait of a Colored Man on a Diving Board" was suggested by the artist's wife. As he had just bought a diving board for his family, he decided to use that title as the basis of his portrait.<br />
<br />
The background for the portrait of a Colored Man on a Diving Board is made from a photograph that he took of the clouds while they were relaxing at the beach. He combined several different hues of blue and green into the background to create the desired effect of aqua and darkness for the picture. This gave him the freedom to experiment with different color mixes and hues, which resulted in this very distinctive oil painting.

  • In these modern times we have many works of art from which to choose, A Man Ready to Dive on the Diving Board is a colorful and lively oil painting by Jan Keteleer that would make a great addition to any home. This imaginative painting has been inspired by the works of Edvard Munch and Thomas Moran and it offers a unique view of what can happen when a person dives into his or her subconscious to retrieve items lost or stolen during their lifetime.<br />
<br />
The title A Man Ready to Dive on the Diving Board is a playful allusion to the work of Maxim Gorki who in the 1920s were a world-famous explorer and painter who became fascinated by the mysterious underwater world of the South Pacific. While he continued to paint beautiful portraits of the New Zealand landscape, Keteleer's painting represents an aspect of the author's life that is difficult to miss. It depicts a group of young men preparing for a dive to the South Pacific in a submarine. Some of the items on the palette include an apple, an olive, a pomegranate, a banana, and various other fruits and vegetables. Keteleer also includes an alien with an egg for lunch and other items that a diver may encounter while researching various objects of interest.

  • A painting of a man on a diving board in summertime by Jan Keteleer is unique and appealing, I would say. This is because the background is so vibrant and the subject so poised and so ready to be painted. This particular oil painting has been displayed in the Netherlands since 2021. And it was during that year that I saw the painting for the first time, along with some other artists.<br />
<br />
Jan Keteleer's artwork for this oil painting of a man on a diving board is just fantastic, I must say. It has a very simple style of art, yet manages to capture the life and vitality of that particular period in time when there was the financial crisis, and people were looking to find a more simplistic solution to their problems than building an extravagant wall or sky scrapers. In fact, this painting takes us back almost to the basics of how artists used symbolism in paintings. The use of a light-colored palette, the depth of the shadows, and the vividness of the colors are all reminiscent of abstract art that the Belgian were so famous for, and they were great at using the colors and the dynamics to express something that people couldn't otherwise express in the actual art. And when the painting is framed, it enhances that framing further by bringing out the nuances and the beauty of this particular work of art.

  • Many paintings of a woman diving into the clouds are pieces created in the early summer for what we today call pinups. As with any art form this one has been commercialized and changed slightly over the years to fit today's standards. Most people view pinups today as sexy women posing in a provocative pose. I prefer to view these types of paintings in a summer setting because there is much more freedom and the colors are a little brighter.<br />
<br />
One of the most popular styles of this type of painting is one which shows a young woman floating lazily above the clouds. This type of painting is very romantic and tends to grab my attention right away. The tones of blue and green are very soothing and give the illusion that the sky is touching the ground. I love this painting because it does not try to make me think of anything else than just the pure beauty of this girl in the clouds.

  • The Woman Who Stands in the Clouds by Jan Keteleer is a landmark oil painting which was a late assignment for artist Edvard Munch. It was during a break from a life of sitting on the couch in front of the television when this masterpiece was completed. The Woman Who Stands in the Clouds is perhaps best described as a modern-day masterpiece, with its painterly style and the vibrant colors that are common of the art of this time. For anyone who appreciates artwork that is colorful and animated, The Woman Who Stands in the Clouds by Jan Keteleer is a must-see oil painting.<br />
<br />
The style of The Woman Who Stands in the Clouds is very much like that of the other paintings by Edvard Munch which are often characterized by a heavy use of shades and hues. Keteleer's style is a far cry from these, however, as he creates most of the image in one light color, using varying intensity and shading to create the clouds. As a result, the painting has a vibrant but subdued look, as if it were done in muted natural tones. The palette of colors is mostly mauve, and there are also some dark spots throughout the painting which give it a feeling of an abstract style. There is no mistaking that the colors used were meant to stand out in the summertime, where they are especially prevalent. As a result, the painting evokes a summery feeling and is therefore perfect for any living room or patio area.

The painting evokes the aura of a summer time holiday. The warm colours are offset against the stark blue sky and the serene, almost ethereal scenes are set against a background of rich, bold colours which occur throughout the piece.

  • The Woman looking down on the world from the clouds by Jan Keteleer is a beautiful oil painting , which depicts a woman standing in the clouds while she appears to be contemplating suicide. The symbolism of the painting is that she is thinking of her dead husband, father, and children. The symbolism has caught on with people across the world as it captures the innocence of the summer, which is often lost in the hustle and bustle of modern life.

  • One of the most striking aspects of this beautiful oil painting is the use of bold accent colors which help to bring to life the wonderful pastoral scenes of summertime. The background and the sky background are both rich with colors that really make the painting come to life, and add the perfect touch of whimsy to what is otherwise a very somber and serious piece of art. A closer examination of the woman standing in the clouds, shows a kind of longing for youth. This makes it seem like the painting might be an ode to the lost innocence of youth, or at least a depiction of the innocence which seems to be lost forever due to the modern technological advancements of our time.<br />
<br />
The Woman Who Stands in the Clouds is a fantastic example of art in the Pre-Raphaelites style. As well as being a fantastic example of art in the Pre-Raphaelite style, it also presents another parallel with other artists from the time period. For example, in the artwork of Georges Braque, there are perfectly aligned, concentric circles in his work which correlate to the art style of the Pre-Raphaelites. Also, in comparison to some of the other artists of the Pre-Raphaelite period, Jan Keteleer seems to have a much more restrained and flowing style in his paintings, which also correlates with the Pre-Raphaelite style.

  • Girl diving in the water, summer, or at any other time is an exhilarating, fun, eye-catching, and unforgettable experience. Girl diving in the water is more than just the act of splashing about in the ocean. It is the exhilarating feeling of becoming underwater, of being "there". Girl diving in the water is the perfect escape from our hectic lives; it is a chance to get right "down to earth" and forget about all the crazy things we have going on, to feel the gentle swaying of the ocean waves against the shore, to explore uncharted territories with our friends, and loved ones, and most of all to discover the vastness of the world. It is a chance to escape from the stress of everyday life and be swept away by the pureness of nature and the beauty of the sea.

  • Painting Of A Girl Swimming In The Sea by Jan Keteleer is based on the true story of a woman,  who decided to take a vacation at a picturesque secluded island off the coast of Turkey. She was expecting to have a nice and peaceful vacation but somehow ended up trapped in the middle of an ancient and forgotten culture. While searching for answers, she discovered that her vacation was part of an annual ritual called Asavinar which celebrates the essence of the sea and what it can offer to humanity.<br />
<br />
Keteleer managed to create a realistic atmosphere with this picturesque and dream-like scene. He captured the essence of the sea, using bright colors, gentle strokes. He primarily focused on the sea as his subject, he was also able to include the atmosphere of the summer.

  • This painting is a study of the process of diving. The figure is positioned in the air, ready to plunge into the water. The hand gestures before the jump suggest that he will rise and descend. This is a secondary reading, a metaphor for the imaginative leap. The arrows on the dive board reinforce the old meaning. While the image is unambiguous, the ambiguity is also a mark of the artist's mind.<br />
<br />
A diving painting is often associated with water sports. This one shows a young man getting ready to jump from a diving board. He is wearing a traditional swimming costume. The area where the two are standing is clear of other structures.<br />
