This is actually a painting I completed a few months back for a local art gallery which holds an annual "24 hour Blitz", where they give you a theme and you have 24 hours to create a work around that idea. It's definitely one of my most proudest/favourite pieces, because it's the painting that started taking my watercolour work in a slightly different direction. Hooray! (P.S, I made this piece my new icon/logo, whaddya think?)
So anyway, this years theme, was under "Fusion".
It's inspired by the idea of the whole nature vs. mankind discussion and about origins. To compare any animal or creature, for example, fish, we are so extremely and obviously different, but we are under the same sky, sharing that same ocean. We might live in the ocean, the land or sky. We may even talk, make noises, or make none at all. We may have limbs and arms, fins, or even wings.
We're from Two different worlds, but we share one Ocean.

It's lovely. I like how the colours just blend into each other~ the splatter effect really adds to the piece too.

Thank you! It was around the time I made this piece where I began to experiment more with loosening my painting style, and embracing blends and bleeds. Glad to see that you liked it so!

Oh gosh, I have no words to describe how much I love this. The idea is fantastic and I love the way it was conceptualized and rendered. One thing that definitely strikes you is the vibrant and contrasting combination of orange-reds and blues of the fish and the background, and how they match the color of the person's features, i.e. their eyes and lips. And then something else that works really well is the "cosmic" background and how it relates to the idea of our origins as a species. I think it's really well done!

Awgasjdajsdas, thank you so much! I'm stoked to hear that you picked up on a lot of the symbolism that I used in the piece (Must be doing something right!).

Magnificent painting. Wonderfully imagined. Love the koi swimming in what appears to be the water. Extremely lovely.

thank you!! i'm very fond of how colours can really create an impact and mood to a piece, which is probably why I tend to use quite striking contrast and bold colours as such. hopefully i don't get too carried away though
