Abyss of the Deep is one of Guertena's paintings located in the Guertena Art Gallery in the game Ib. It depicts a monstrous, gray deep-sea fish in deep, dark-blue waters. It serves as the entrance that Ib jumps through (producing a splash sound) in order to enter the Blue Area, the first area of Ib's adventure through the cursed gallery of the Fabricated World.

Near the beginning of the Violet Area, a door will require the name of this painting as the code to open it. When Garry tries to remember the name, he can't remember the first word ("Abyss"), so he asks Ib (who was unable to read "Abyss" from the start). She can choose either "Abyss," "Realm," or "Picture" as the word. Garry will only accept "Abyss" as a choice, so once it is chosen, the door will open.
During A Painting's Demise ending, the dark blue sea leaks and begins to ooze onto the floor as the Gallery darkens.
Location
In the Guertena Art Gallery, the painting is in the center room of the first floor.
In the True Guertena Exhibit, it is in the center of the painting room in the Main Gallery.
