A small predatory fish is caught in a moment of urgency, its mouth wide open and fins outstretched.
 The scene is dominated by the dramatic contrast between the reds, oranges and yellows used for the body and the strong hues of blue, cobalt and black that define the seabed and the rough water.
 Aggressive brushstrokes and splashes of color enhance movement and speed.

 The work skillfully combines the fluidity of watercolor to suggest water with denser, more textured brushstrokes that define the fish's powerful body.
 strong chromatic contrasts and splatter make the scene alive and vibrant.
 Your space will gain character, energy, and a sense of adventure, thanks to the balance created between the power of the subject and the vibrant richness of the colors.
 This work was created entirely by hand, celebrating the magic of watercolor and its ability to convey animal power with great immediacy.
