Oil on canvas artwork “Eat Fugu Fish” presents a contemporary figurative scene set against a soft blue space that evokes the atmosphere of water and sky. A young woman sits casually on a ledge while taking a selfie with her smartphone, holding it up in front of her face. Nearby, a fugu fish and several translucent jellyfish drift through the composition, creating an unusual environment where the human figure and marine life appear to coexist in a quiet, suspended moment.
The concept behind this work explores modern self-image and the culture of the selfie in contrast with the mysterious beauty of the ocean world. The presence of the fugu fish adds an ironic layer to the scene: a creature known both as a delicacy and as something potentially dangerous. The calm posture of the woman and the act of photographing herself create a playful dialogue between curiosity, risk and everyday digital behavior.
The artwork was created using oil on canvas, allowing smooth tonal transitions in the blue background and careful modeling of the human figure. Layered brushwork captures the softness of skin, fabric and light, while delicate glazing techniques help convey the translucent forms of the jellyfish and the gentle movement of water around the fugu fish. The result is a figurative composition that blends contemporary life, marine imagery and subtle symbolism.
