Water is my platform - Eric Zener

Eric Zener paints a diver in red-striped trunks at the tip of a board, face focused on the leap. Bubbles so real they seem to burst around a swimmer ascending to the ocean's sunlit surface. A lone sunbather lulled by the rhythmic lap of waves. Eric's artwork depicts the diver's hesitation, the swimmer's escape, and the sunbather's contentment.

Eric elaborates on the "friend" part in his artist's statement: "The lone figure immersed in water illustrates the constant force and changing tides in our lives. Above the surface we may appear to be together and unaffected. However, below the surface, subconsciously, we are in a constant state of transformation and illumination. It is my intention that the journey is hopeful and the ending enlightening."
