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.

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.
