Circle Koi
Golden fish curve around a glowing center in this circular composition. The center looks like a lotus, a whirlpool or a rosette of light, and the fish seem to chase one another around it in a slow, endless loop. The water around them is a deep, inky blue, flecked with lighter ripples and sparkles.
Gold paint is used generously, and it catches the light as the viewer moves, so the fish appear to shimmer. The circular movement gives the painting a feeling of harmony and continuity, and the dark blue makes the gold glow.
Koi are often associated with perseverance and good fortune, and the painting carries that sense of calm optimism. It is both decorative and meditative, and it would suit an entrance, a living room or a place of quiet reflection.
