Artwork DNA
OpenHideA smiling dolphin surfaces through deep blue ocean water, with circular ripples and motion blur surrounding its head and open mouth.
The artwork centres on a close-up dolphin breaking the water’s surface, shown in mid-swim with its mouth open as if smiling. Deep blues dominate, ranging from darker navy tones to lighter blue highlights along the wave ridges. The dolphin’s pale grey-white body contrasts strongly with the water, drawing attention to the face and expressive open mouth. Around it, the ocean surface forms swirling, circular ripple patterns that radiate outward, creating a sense of movement and depth. The overall look is photographic with crisp detail on the dolphin and softer, flowing texture in the water.
