Welcome...

Welcome to a breathtaking, mystical underwater world, as seen through the eyes of artist Gilbert van Ryckevorsel. Salmon, swordfish, whales, the flora and fauna of the Eastern Canadian wilderness.


Gilbert has a history of successful unique artistic ventures created by a vivid imagination; a love for the splendid creatures living in hidden aquatic environments and a lifetime cause in communicating the mysteries of underwater environments. However, his initial and overriding goal is to create awareness for the need of preservation of life supporting water. With these motivations, he has created underwater photography, driftwood monster phantasy sculptures, beach rock engravings, ocean mirror glass art, marine abstract art.

We invite you to explore this web site and to enjoy a rare glimpse into one of the last unspoiled natural ecosystems on Earth.
