Description:
This hand-carved and vibrantly painted wooden fish radiates energy with its bold palette and intricate patterning. Mounted on a deep blue panel evoking stylized ocean waves, the fish’s body is a dazzling mosaic of overlapping scales, each individually painted in hues of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The head, rendered in rich crimson and framed with ornate gold and white detailing, gives the fish a regal presence, while the tail and fins are accented with fine linework in black and metallic tones. Playful yet meticulously crafted, this piece celebrates folk art traditions with a contemporary splash of color and movement, making it a standout wall sculpture that feels both joyful and timeless.
