Two koi fish circling one another in a slow, continuous dance. Layers of translucent wax and fine linework build luminous reds, golds, and pearly whites that seem to glow against the pale ground. The circular composition suggests gentle movement and balance, as if the fish are suspended in a quiet current. Splashes of turquoise and scattered marks echo textural ripples in water, creating a sense of calm, rhythm, and meditative flow. 16 x 20 in. Encaustic, fresco, watercolor, pencil, ink on cradled wood panel. Sold.
