"Vibrant Water" is a dazzling pastel depiction of koi fish gliding through their aquatic realm, their jewel-toned scales shimmering beneath the water’s surface.

The piece captures the water’s translucent quality through layered blues and greens, blending soft ripples with sudden flashes of reflected light. Each koi seems to carry its own luminous glow, their patterns blooming like living brushstrokes against the cool depths.

This work celebrates the koi’s color & beauty. The pastel medium perfectly conveys the scene’s tactile contrasts: the silken flow of water, the smooth arc of fins, and the dynamic interplay of color and movement.
