"Sparus Aurata" is a striking original oil painting featuring a gilt-head bream (the species Sparus aurata) rendered with precision and painterly sensitivity. The work blends natural history still life with elegant contemporary realism—highlighting the fish’s characteristic golden stripe above its eyes and its silvery form, set within a quietly composed scene.
With textured brushstrokes, refined lighting and thoughtful composition, this piece invites reflection on the relationship between form, species identity and visual elegance. An excellent choice for collectors of animal still lifes, fine art realism, or anyone seeking an unusual yet refined focal piece for modern interiors.
Details:
– Original oil painting on canvas (not a print)
– Signed by the artist
– Certificate of Authenticity included
– Ships securely packaged
One of Walter Vaes's still lifes inspired me to create this work. I wanted to create something alike - when shiny objects of different materials are depicted on a single canvas, and you can feel their materiality when you are looking at it.
