But inevitably his submarine work is more about nature than the cityscape series he continues to develop on land.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Being reliant on a tank limits the time underwater, but Gonzalez is quick and for this interview sketched in 30 minutes a flying whale, dragging a house behind it in a sky dotted with clouds. Palm trees grow off the creature\u2019s back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cI really did not expect to see somebody under water, painting!\u201d exclaimed Canadian tourist Mike Festeryga, who saw Gonzalez while diving along the seabed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The state-run dive center at Punta Perdiz, on Cuba\u2019s southern coast, some 172 km (107 miles) from Havana, said his work was an extra draw for tourists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cFor tourists, it\u2019s really a novelty,\u201d said Hector Hernandez, who has been working as a dive instructor in the area for more than 28 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Gonzalez, who makes a living selling work at his studio in Havana for a median price of $1,000 per canvas, exhibits some of his submarine work in the Punta Perdiz dive center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He is now hoping to get state permission to sell the work and develop the area as a center for underwater art.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cI would like for a department of submarine painting to be created,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t think anything like that exists yet anywhere in the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">www.reuters.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some artists like to go on a countryside retreat to foster their creative process.
