The Fish – Symbol of Faith (2020) Original Mixed-media Painting by Oxana Zaika

The Fish – Symbol of Faith is a richly textured mixed-media artwork exploring the ancient symbolism of the fish as a sign of faith, spirituality, protection and inner transformation.

At the heart of the composition, a mysterious fish carries a powerful symbolic eye, surrounded by intricate patterns, spirals and ornamental marks. Birds, plants, water, boats and fragments of collage create an imaginary landscape where different symbols seem to come together like pieces of an ancient story.

The deep turquoise, blue, green and earthy orange tones create a dramatic and atmospheric world, while the hand-drawn patterns and collage elements give the surface a sense of history and mystery. The fish becomes a guardian figure — a symbol of life, spiritual journey and connection between the visible and invisible worlds.

Created using mixed media and collage on a wooden board and finished with protective varnish, this original artwork combines contemporary painting with folk, symbolic and decorative traditions.
