ArtistThis playful, mixed-media painting by Elke Trittel features a large, whimsical fish dominating the center of the composition, rendered in a patchwork of textured colors including pink, red, orange, and purple, with dotted patterns and subtle hatch marks decorating its body; the fish has an oversized black eye and simple, outlined fins, with a string-like black line curling from its mouth toward the bottom right corner. Perched atop the fish is a small, stylized bird with a yellow body and black, blue, and red patterning, outlined in black with visible strokes and a pointed beak facing left. Below the fish, a small red and white sailboat floats above a yellow-green background, with the trailing black line connecting it to the fish’s mouth, adding a narrative thread. The background is filled with a riot of color and texture: the upper portion features lavender, pink, and purple tones with layered, organic shapes and white brushstrokes, while the lower section includes blue, green, and yellow segments filled with circular forms, linear accents, and raised textures. The artist’s signature “ART EIKE” appears in black in the bottom right corner. The entire composition has a playful, collage-like quality with vibrant, contrasting hues and childlike surrealism.
A vibrant, colorful folk art painting features whimsical fish and an abstract, patterned background. A large, stylized fish dominates the foreground, its body composed of numerous square and rectangular patches of fabric-like texture. The head of this main fish is bright pink with a large, white-rimmed black eye. Its body scales are a mosaic of colors and patterns, including orange with black polka dots, fuchsia with black polka dots, yellow with black polka dots, and purple with black polka dots, interspersed with smaller fish. The fish's fins and tail are a solid black with large white polka dots, outlined in fine black and white stripes. A white line with small black dots separates the fish's segments and outer edge.
In the upper left corner, against a light blue background, two smaller orange and pink fish with polka dot patterns swim. In the upper right corner, a single dark pink striped fish is nestled in a blue segment. In the lower left corner, a dark purple fish with a blue head and antennae-like topper swims against an orange background.
The background of the entire painting is a patchwork of brightly colored squares and rectangles. These background segments feature various patterns, including solid colors, stripes, and polka dots. Colors
