Zen Reflections of Koi

by Christian Ovís

‘Zen Reflections of Koi’ depicts a large orange-and-white koi amidst graceful water ripples, red floral forms and a thin red circle. The fish curves diagonally upwards to the right and has clearly visible scales and pale fins. To the left, above the water, is a delicately drawn tower-like shape. Traces of green-blue, grey and almost black colour fill the lower part of the composition. The background remains a light cream.

The composition blends recognisable elements with free, ink-like movement. The red circle provides a clear frame around the upper half, whilst the curved water lines follow the direction of the fish. Small red accents echo the warm colour of the koi. Dark splashes and droplet shapes provide a counterbalance at the bottom. Thanks to the open background, the fine details remain clearly visible against one another. The combination of clean lines and flowing shapes makes the image decorative and lively.

This koi wall decoration suits a living room, hall or study with calm base colours. Cream and green-blue combine well with wood; orange and red provide warm accents. A plain wall gives the central fish plenty of space. From a distance, the koi and the red circle stand out. Up close, the scales, delicate tower lines and small floral shapes become visible.
