Fish Colorful Wall Decor With Green Accent Medium (Case of 4) (m8010 c4)

Case of 4

This piece-of-art is influenced not only by nature, but also different cultures of the world. The frame is of a butterflyfish, which are commonly found in reefs of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. The colors and swirls painted onto the fish are commonly seen in those reefs among the different plants and animals that reside there. The style in which the fish is painted represents an artistic style commonly seen in the Caribbean. The artist also creates slight contrasts between the body of the fish using capiz oyster shells and the matted outer fins and face. The body will reflect light making it seem bolder. All the components come together creating a fun and global piece.

The basic frame of this piece is created using tin, which is powder coated with a black finish. The frame is reinforced using tin wire along the inner edge. The front of the body is adorned with capiz.
Capiz is an oyster shell and the primary purpose of the oyster is as a source of food. However, the by-product, the shell, can be used for decoration. Due to it being a natural material, the natural colors of the capiz may come through as tans and browns underneath the hand-painted surface.
