Poisson by Elia Pagliarino

About the artwork:

Original artwork by the artist Elia Pagliarino, merges dreamlike and symbolic elements. The realistic and delicate female portrait is surrounded by vibrant goldfish that seem to float in space, evoking a surreal aquatic universe. White wings add a mystical dimension, while translucent blue drawings enhance the fluidity and lightness of the composition. Details of the necklace, including the small suspended figure, suggest an intimate and symbolic narrative.
