Painting - Oil on Paper - Smoked Fish

A one-off painting by artist Zach Mukwira using oil on paper and hand-cut low relief detail,  a distinctive style that he has evolved from techniques learned in print-making. Zach's artworks are inspired by African legends and stories, his own creative fantasy, and the emotions common to all cultures and ages.

Zach says of his inspiration for Smoked Fish, "The fish has become my symbol, my signature in most of my creative drive. In this piece the fish are hovering in the air, so I dreamed the notion of smoked fish as a visual play on words, with the smoke turning into fish hovering into the atmosphere."
