Original artwork description:

This captivating mixed media artwork brings to life the surreal beauty of a betta fish, rendered with a harmonious blend of watercolor, ink, and soft pastel. The vibrant palette of fiery oranges and deep blues creates a striking contrast, drawing attention to the fish’s flowing fins, which seem to dance with grotesque elegance. The layered textures and materials enhance the dynamic motion of the fins, imbuing them with an almost otherworldly energy, as if they are rippling through both water and starlight.

Set against a cosmic-inspired background, the piece explores the tension between fragility and strength, celebrating the delicate artistry of nature while infusing it with a bold, imaginative twist. It is a tribute to movement, contrast, and the extraordinary beauty of life in its simplest forms.
