A poised, contemplative moment defines this 24×30" oil on canvas by Paul Scaturro (b.1961). A lone figure sits at the edge of a swimming pool, dressed in a dark swimsuit accented with red and a crisp white swim cap. The pose is quiet and deliberate—legs extended, one foot just grazing the water’s surface—creating a soft, wavering reflection that becomes part of the composition’s emotional tone.

The surrounding environment is rendered in Scaturro’s signature blend of calm geometry and atmospheric color. A vertical pool ladder rises behind the figure, its pale tones set against a blue‑green wall that feels both architectural and dreamlike. The brushwork is smooth and confident, with muted hues that evoke stillness, introspection, and the subtle tension between motion and pause.

This painting highlights Scaturro’s ability to distill a scene to its essential shapes and emotional resonance, a hallmark of his contemporary figurative style. Paul Scaturro is represented by Charlestown Gallery in Rhode Island, where his work is celebrated for its refined balance of narrative suggestion and modern compositional clarity. See less
