Vantine betta

20" x 16"
 
The painting presents a top-down, dorsal perspective of a betta fish gliding horizontally from right to left across a solid, dark charcoal-black canvas. The fish’s body anchors the left side of the composition, while its immense caudal fin fans out grandly to the right, occupying nearly two-thirds of the visual space. This bird's-eye view highlights the dramatic, asymmetrical spread of the fins as they trail behind the swimming form.
