Golden Scales Dancing: Two Koi Fish | Original Realist Oil Painting

A classic realist masterpiece by WeicaGallery exclusive artist Xianping QIN (Yangyang), this painting captures the vivid movement of two golden koi fish with incredibly detailed brushwork. Breaking away from traditional flat backgrounds, it features a vintage reddish-brown leather texture layered over a beige linen base. The irregular, torn-edge design creates a unique three-dimensional sense of depth, exuding luxury and artistic sophistication.

Hand-painted to perfection, the artist recreates the glossy scales and flowing fins of the koi fish with lifelike precision. The two fish—one gold, one yellow—swim playfully among bubbles, their eyes bright and bodies full of vitality. Framed in a vintage brown solid wood frame with a champagne gold inner liner, it perfectly complements the retro color palette, masterfully blending Eastern auspicious symbolism with Western realist techniques.
