In this painting, vibrant pastel greens, pinks, and soft yellows blend together to create a dynamic yet harmonious composition.

In this painting, vibrant pastel greens, pinks, and soft yellows blend together to create a dynamic yet harmonious composition. Among the flowing organic forms, Japanese koi fish, rendered in soft pinks, swim gracefully, adding an element of serenity and symbolism. The koi, often associated with perseverance and transformation, mirror the rhythmic movement of the surrounding shapes, creating a sense of fluid motion and harmony. The title Ritmos [Rhythms] captures the essence of the painting, where both abstract forms and recognizable imagery combine to evoke the natural flow of life and movement.
The integration of koi fish adds depth, connecting the work to the symbolism of endurance and change found in Japanese culture. The soft, layered colors and transparency evoke a dreamlike quality, reminiscent of Paul Klee’s exploration of rhythm through abstraction. However, the inclusion of koi gives this painting a unique blend of the organic and symbolic, distinguishing it from purely abstract works. The flowing forms seem to dance across the canvas, blending the vibrancy of South American artistic traditions with universal themes of transformation and continuity in nature.
