Koi II features nine koi in richly colourful varieties in a dynamic composition, as if suspended in a moment of fluid harmony. The Koi depicted are all existing breeds, rendered with acute attention to pattern, colour and anatomy.
The interplay of form and negative space evokes a calm dynamism, a moment of movement stilled into meditative reflection. Motion and energy are implied in the dynamic flow of the composition and in the luminosity of saturated colour against a soft gradient ground. By balancing near-naturalistic representation with a distinctly contemporary clarity of vision, it offers a distilled version of reality that feels suspended between the real and the archetypal, inviting contemplation through beauty.
The piece speaks of variety within unity. Each fish carries a sense of individuation yet remains part of a greater, flowing constellation, mirroring how we are living a collective experience while remaining rooted in our individual mythologies.
Koi carp have long been revered as symbols of courage, longevity, and spiritual ascent. Like its sister piece ‘Koi I’, this work hints at the fluid boundary between the outer world and inner states, inviting quiet reflection on transformation, harmony, and the beauty of coexistence.
