lust for life. Painting

This painting, executed in soft, muted colours, is a depiction of an unusual fish that resembles creatures from the underwater world with a surrealistic touch. The colour scheme prevailing on the canvas gravitates towards golden-yellow and orange shades, which gives the image warmth and a sense of shimmer. The fish takes centre stage in the painting, its forms emphasised by texture and soft lines, giving it volume and depth. An interesting emphasis is placed on her lips and expression, which can be interpreted as pensive or even a slight smile. The water the fish is in seems calm, perhaps it is the reflection on the surface of the water that adds to the duality of the composition. The background is restrained and does not distract attention from the main subject, remaining in soft grey-blue tones. This scene, thanks to its texture and unusualness, evokes a sense of mystery, as if we are watching a creature from a parallel world where fish are given human features and emotions.
