This figurative oil painting on wood, titled Just Before, captures a moment of suspended energy—just before movement, just before immersion. The solitary swimmer crouches in full concentration, preparing to leap into the painted expanse of aquatic tones. Executed in oil on wood panel, the painting employs a luminous blue palette and gentle tonal transitions that evoke both sea and sky, placing this work at the intersection of memory and movement. The horizontal format amplifies the cinematic tension of the composition. Sula Repani’s exploration of transitional moments is a recurring theme across her practice. Just Before is part of her ongoing investigation into physical and emotional thresholds. The figurative oil painting’s surface is framed in a handcrafted wooden frame with a deliberately organic texture, reinforcing the work’s connection to natural forms and tactile realism. The artist’s Greek heritage and life in Galicia converge in this painting’s atmosphere, where deep blues reference both the Aegean and Atlantic, and the poised figure represents transformation, inner strength, and restraint.
