Bolivian fish market (2023) Original Gouache Painting by Diego Sinani Stepanian

This painting depicts a market scene in Bolivia, focusing on the everyday rhythm of vendors, customers, food, and color. I was interested in portraying a moment that may seem ordinary at first, but carries a strong sense of place, work, and human presence.
The composition is built around the fish table, the figures, and the vivid contrast of reds, blues, whites, and yellows. The style is figurative and painterly, with loose brushwork and expressive color rather than a strictly photographic approach.
I painted this work because I am drawn to scenes of daily life where culture appears naturally: in gestures, clothing, objects, markets, and the atmosphere of work. For me, this type of scene represents the living identity of a place.
