About the artwork
This image was born in Rangiroa, French Polynesia, while snorkeling. I saw a fish of astonishing shape — almost surreal. What struck me most was its horn. And the water itself was exactly like this — unreal turquoise. In that moment, a rare sense of lightness appeared: as if God had already figured everything out for us.

This painting is about relaxation as a form of inner freedom. A girl lies calmly on the back of an extraordinary fish. She is not controlling the movement and not striving forward — she simply trusts. The fish becomes an image of natural grace. The figure of the girl is intentionally deprived of specific identity: this is not a portrait, but an open image in which the viewer can recognize themselves — a state in which one can stop controlling and simply allow oneself to be.

👉 not everything in life needs to be controlled
👉 often the best thing you can do is relax

Why collectors respond to this work
This painting belongs to Aleksandra Koblova’s biophilic magical realism series, exploring calm, trust, and the quiet bond between humans and animals. Her works are collected internationally for their rare emotional stillness and restorative atmosphere.

Curatorial сontext
Koblova’s work reflects a growing shift in contemporary art toward a more-than-human perspective, where humans and animals are no longer separated by hierarchy but exist within a shared emotional ecosystem.

Her paintings propose a language of radical tenderness and the generation of joy — where softness, trust, and quiet happiness become meaningful gestures in response to the overstimulation of contemporary life.

Within this context, biophilic imagery functions not simply as depiction of nature, but as a visual space of restoration, emotional balance, and renewed connection with the living world.

Biophilic effect
Nature-based imagery has been shown to support emotional restoration and reduce stress. Artworks featuring animals, water, and open natural spaces help the nervous system shift into a restorative state.
This painting brings that biophilic calm into a living space.
