This original artwork "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" was created by the contemporary Russian artist Anastasia Kuklina and is available for sale online.
The painting is based on A.S. Pushkin's fairy tale, illustrating the plot. The technique of simple forms and geometric figures emphasizes the concept of the painting, as does the "dry brush" painting technique.
One can consider the painting as a direct context of the fairy tale, but one can also delve into the subtext in which Ichthys is a monogram of Jesus Christ; the symbol of the fish is used to depict the Divine.
With this symbol, a deeper meaning of the painting is revealed; it speaks of prayer or conversation of a person to God, Life, the Universe, depending on the person's faith. One way or another, it is an internal dialogue with an external, elusive phenomenon, our requests and petitions that we want to be heard. The boat symbolizes the life path, which passes through the symbol of the fish, speaks of the support and help that comes into our lives.
Birds symbolize light luck, fulfillment of desires, something that easily comes and is lost if neglected. Thus, the painting calls for balance and gratitude. Color plays a key role in conveying the mood, from blue symbolizing tranquility and depth to golden hues that speak of divinity and enlightenment.
The composition of the painting, with its clear structure and deliberate placement of elements, further reinforces the idea of harmony between the earthly and the divine. The fisherman and the fish are not just characters from a fairy tale, but symbols of human desire and the ultimate source of fulfillment, whether it is found in material wealth or spiritual enlightenment.
