An impressionistic portrayal of Japanese Koi fish jubilantly depicted with movement and enthusiasm. In a burst of motion, the fish joyfully swim in the clear light blue waters, as the artist captures the splashes of water with thrown paint precisely. Koi fish represent growth and prosperity which is why it is common for us to spot them swimming in various homes and workspaces. The koi symbolism is often regarded as a “living jewel,” they are celebrated for their attractive scales and color patterns, making them a famous symbol of beauty, admiration, and wealth. Alfaro’s depiction is an excellent representation of these wonderful fish, as we can feel the poignant brushwork making it seem as if the Koi fish are alive swimming happily in their environment. This piece is signed lower right and titled on the back, it comes ready to be displayed on gallery wrap canvas and hanging wire on verso.
