This original work «Goldfishes» was created by contemporary Russian artist Oleg Averchenkov and is available for purchase online.
At first glance, Oleg Averchenkov’s painting appears deceptively simple. «Goldfishes» is a title that clearly plays ironically on the mundane subject, as we see not magical creatures granting wishes, but ordinary smoked fish laid out on white paper. However, it is precisely this simplicity that forms the strength of this still life. The artist, using an expressive, even somewhat rough painting style and a warm color palette, transforms an everyday object into a focus of close attention, revealing its hidden beauty and texture.
The composition of the still life is extremely concise. Three fish are arranged diagonally on white paper, which in turn rests on a wooden surface. The artist deliberately avoids any additional details to concentrate the viewer’s attention on the main subjects.
A distinctive feature of the painting is its textured painting technique. The artist applies paint in thick, relief strokes, creating a sense of volume and materiality. It seems as if you could touch the fish and feel its dry smoked skin. The play of light and shadow on the fish’s surface gives it liveliness and dynamism.
The color palette of the painting is based on a combination of warm shades of brown, golden, and white. These tones create a feeling of coziness, warmth, and a homely atmosphere. Bright highlights reflecting off the fish’s surface give it a festive appearance, as if emphasizing its «golden» status.
The background of the painting is rendered in an abstract manner. Blurred, chaotic strokes create a sense of depth and space without distracting from the main objects of the still life. The background seems to reflect the artist’s inner world, his emotions, and feelings.
The artist uses an expressive painting style, emphasizing the transmission of texture, volume, and light. Quick, confident strokes and dynamic lines create a sense of liveliness and realism. The painting seems to capture a moment that will never happen again.
Overall, this still life is not just a depiction of smoked fish but rather a meditation on beauty in simplicity, the value of everyday things, and the artist’s ability to see the beautiful even in the most unexpected places.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior. You can buy the «Goldfishes» painting online, sized 30 x 40 cm, with secure delivery to the address you specify.
