More about this artwork
This artwork by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, titled "Decorative Design With Two Fish In A Hexagon," is a beautifully composed piece that aptly reflects Dijsselhof's interest in nature and Art Nouveau influences. The painting features a symmetrical and well-balanced design, encapsulated within a hexagonal border. Inside this geometric structure are two fish depicted in an almost mirrored pose, creating a visual harmony and a sense of movement within a static image.The fish are detailed with intricate scales and patterns in hues of golden yellow and black spots, suggesting a possible inspiration from koi fish, which are often celebrated in art for their beauty and grace. The background is adorned extensively with stylized floral patterns reminiscent of water plants or flowers, possibly water lilies, which evoke the natural habitat of these fish. These floral motifs are rendered in soft, neutral tones that contrast subtly with the bolder markings of the fish, highlighting them as the central figures.Framing the central hexagon are ornamental bands filled with wave-like and spiral designs, adding an extra layer of decorative detail and enhancing the overall aquatic theme of the piece.
