Fish Day

Watercolors and graphic works inspired by marine life,
movement, and underwater observation

Fish Day brings together works inspired by long-term observation of marine environments and underwater life. Fish, coral formations, reflections, currents, and shifting light become subjects of both visual attention and emotional engagement.

The project emerged from repeated encounters with marine ecosystems, particularly coral reefs and coastal environments. Rather than approaching underwater life scientifically or illustratively, the series explores rhythm, fluidity, interaction, and the constantly changing structure of perception beneath water.

Many works focus on movement and spatial instability: drifting forms, layered reflections, transparent color, and the transformation of light through water. Watercolor and monotype techniques allow unpredictability and flow to become active elements of the image itself.

The series reflects a broader interest in attentive observation as a form of connection with living environments and the complexity of non-human worlds.

project Story

Exhibition

Developed over several years, the project began in 2016 with a series of observational works inspired by marine life and underwater environments. The cycle formed the core of the solo exhibition Fish Day in Kyiv in 2020 and continued to evolve through later exhibitions, including Bloom, My Land! (2022) and Observation and Experiment (2024).
