Big fish

The painting depicts two fish executed in an expressive, slightly abstract style. The composition is arranged vertically, with the fish positioned one above the other, their heads and parts of their bodies occupying the central area of the frame. The artist employs thick, textured brushstrokes, imbuing the work with a sense of dynamism and volume.

Key features of the image:

Fish: rendered with a strong emphasis on large, expressive eyes, which draw the viewer’s primary attention. The eyes are depicted using contrasting circles of black, white, and grey hues, creating a «living» gaze effect.
Colour scheme: combines warm (gold-yellow, brown, terracotta) and cool (green, blue, purple) tones. This combination creates an interesting contrast and depth.
Background: executed in muted, blurred tones, dominated by purple and gold. The texture of the background resembles a rough surface, enhancing the sense of expressionism.
Style: leaning towards abstraction with elements of realism — the fish shapes are recognizable, but the lines and contours are deliberately simplified and generalized.
Composition: лаконичная — the focus is exclusively on the fish, with no additional details or environmental elements. This creates a sense of concentration on the main subject.
Overall impression: the painting makes a striking, slightly surreal impression. Thanks to the expressive eyes and rich colour palette, the work invites interest and encourages reflection on its hidden meaning.
