The Swan 2020

"The Swan" is a 2020 painting by contemporary artist Nick Alm (b. 1985), depicting a woman in a white robe standing in a body of water. The woman's arms are outstretched as if in embrace, and her face is tilted downwards, reflecting the serenity of her surroundings. The muted tones of the painting, dominated by shades of gray and green, contribute to the contemplative mood of the piece. The large rock face in the background adds a sense of scale and perspective, further emphasizing the woman's smallness in the vastness of nature. The painting evokes a sense of solitude and connection with nature, a recurring theme in Alm's works.
