Beautiful Koi Fish

DESCRIPTION

In Japanese culture, Koi are symbolic of perseverance and strength, in times of adversity. This is because of their tendency to swim upstream, against the flow of water. I have painted Koi fish so many times over the years as they are one of my favourite references. I find that watching koi swim through the water is as captivating as watching the flames of a campfire. I also love them for their vibrant colour and enjoy the challenge of capturing their energetic movements, on canvas. This artwork has many layers of coloured glazes, achieving a beautiful depth of colour and texture. here
