There is an amusing difference between the experience being underwater and that of being on land. Objects appear twenty five percent larger underwater and as a consequence they also appear closer. Colors alter as light is absorbed and reflect different rates. Depth of the water affect this further. The light source in water is from the surface, this produces kaleidoscopic effects governed by water movement, currents and turbulence. There is an underwater sculpture collection that is undoubtedly a superlative monument of the world. This art work is known as Underwater Sculpture Park that is located in Grenada, West Indies. It’s a work of sculptor Jason Taylor from England, who has a passion for creating fantastic and unique pieces of work depicting Grenada’s colorful history and folklore and and this all is underwater.
Jason de Caires Taylor was born in 1974 to an English father and Guyanese mother, spending the earlier part of his life growing up in Europe, Asia and the Caribbean. Educated in South East England, he graduated in 1998 from Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Art London, with a B.A Honors in Sculpture and Ceramics. He is also a fully qualified diving instructor and underwater naturalist with over 14 years of diving experience in a variety of countries.
