This original artwork “Sea fish” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Ivan Korshunov  and is available for sale online.

Ivan Korshunov’s painting “Sea Fish” is a bright and unusual still life in which realistic images of marine life are combined with elements of pop art and surrealism, creating an atmosphere of irony, fantasy, and some sadness. The artist uses a saturated, yet harmonious color palette and a detailed painting style to convey a sense of joy, lightness, and carefree nature characteristic of the marine world, but at the same time hint at its fragility and vulnerability. It’s not just an image of fish, but like a visual reflection on the interaction of man and nature, on the influence of civilization on the world of wild animals, and on the value of all living things on our planet.

At the center of attention of the painting is a group of sea fish soaring in the air on thin threads or fishing lines, like balloons. The artist depicts various representatives of marine fauna: a clownfish, an angelfish, a dolphin, and a shark. Their bright plumage, executed in various colors and patterns, creates a feeling of celebration and fun. The fish, like toys, attract attention and bring a smile.

A special feature of the painting is that the fish are depicted in a stylized manner, reminiscent of inflatable balloons or children’s toys. Their forms, somewhat simplified and exaggerated, emphasize their artificiality and detachment from their natural habitat.

The background of the painting is a homogeneous golden surface, imitating metal or gilding. This background creates a feeling of luxury and wealth, and also emphasizes the value and significance of the fish. Gold, as it were, is a symbol of artificiality and materiality, contrasting with the natural beauty and vulnerability of marine inhabitants.

An interesting point is that the fish are depicted not in their natural habitat – in the sea, but in the air, like balloons. This creates a sense of unreality and fantasy and also hints that marine inhabitants are in an unnatural position for themselves.

The artist uses the technique of Realism with elements of Pop Art and Surrealism, focusing on the detailed rendering of each object and creating an overall impression of lightness, irony, and some sadness. Bright colors, clear lines, and unusual combinations create a feeling of celebration and magic, but at the same time make you think about the serious problems that marine inhabitants face in the modern world.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of duality: on the one hand, joy, beauty, and carefree nature, and on the other - anxiety, fragility, and vulnerability. The painting seems to invite the viewer to reflect on the interaction of man and nature, on the need to cherish and protect the world of wild animals, and on the fact that only by combining our efforts can we preserve the beauty and richness of our planet.
