Dancing Goldfish

By Walter Lee Xhian

Drawing from the lively ponds at the Botanical Gardens, the artist uses bright colours and layered paper pieces to highlight flowing motion in water. As the goldfish swims around, its fins glide beneath the water surface while its tail swishes around, creating little ripples on the surface. Captivated by the gentle energy and playfulness exuded by the fish, Walter created "Dancing Goldfish" to convey the peaceful beauty of nature through art.
