A large blue fish emerges from the canvas, shown not in full but in an intimate close-up that feels both serene and quietly surreal. Her scales shimmer in layered blues with soft touches of gold, while her amber eye appears watchful, reflective — as if she is paused in a moment that continues beyond the frame.
Behind her, delicate dried plants rise from a warm brown-gold background, their muted shapes echoing the natural world yet giving the scene a dreamlike stillness. The contrast between the cool, detailed body of the fish and the soft, earthy backdrop creates a sense of calm tension — a quiet space where time seems to slow.
This painting is part of my Blues series: works that explore introspection, gentleness, and the emotional weight of stillness through cool tones, subtle contrasts, and contemplative compositions.
