Ningyo- Spirit of the Sea (2023) Original Watercolour by Oxana Zaika

A dreamy and mystical interpretation of the Japanese Ningyo — a legendary creature of the sea, traditionally described as a being with the face and form of a woman combined with a fish.

Surrounded by colourful fish, delicate plants and aquatic symbols, the Ningyo appears as a mysterious guardian of the underwater world. The composition blends Japanese mythology with a poetic, contemporary imagination. Soft shades of violet, turquoise, lavender and pink create an ethereal atmosphere, while fine ink details and ornamental patterns add depth and character.

Painted in watercolor on paper, this original artwork celebrates the beauty, mystery and timeless symbolism of the ocean. A poetic piece for collectors drawn to mythology, Japanese culture, fantasy and dreamlike art.
