Tropical Fish, Steel , Edition , 79cm high by 103cm wide by 22cm deep , Animals and Birds , Nature sculpture

Tropical Fish is a vibrant steel sculpture measuring 79cm high, 103cm wide, and 22cm deep. It captures the energy and movement of a tropical fish as it swims through water. The sculptor shapes the steel into flowing curves, giving the piece both strength and a sense of motion.

The fish’s body arcs gracefully, while its fins and tail extend outward in delicate, sweeping lines. Each fin tapers to a point, creating a light, airy effect despite the solid steel. The painted surface bursts with colour, deep blues, fiery oranges, bright yellows, and hints of green and white create the iridescence of a tropical reef. The colours flow across the fish, accentuating its shape and adding depth.

The sculpture blends realism with artistic exaggeration. The fish’s form remains recognizable, but its curves and angles are slightly stylized, giving it personality and movement. Polished areas reflect light and draw attention to the bright, multi-coloured finish, while textured sections suggest natural patterns and muscle definition.

Placed on its own or within a collection, Tropical Fish draws the viewer’s eye immediately. Its size and presence command attention, and its carefully considered lines and colours reward detailed observation. The piece conveys the vitality of tropical marine life, combining natural inspiration with contemporary design. Every angle reveals new patterns and movement, making it both playful and sophisticated, a testament to skilled craftsmanship and artistic imagination.
