Floating Fish Dream suspends its subjects in a dreamlike space — fish drifting with the languid ease of creatures freed from gravity, surrounded by an atmosphere that blurs the boundary between water and air. Nicholas brings his love of retro design and contemporary Asian aesthetics to bear here, building a composition that is playful and poetic in equal measure. Bold shapes and soft negative space give the image an unhurried, meditative rhythm.

The fluid forms and subtle colour work in this illustration print with full clarity on archival fine art paper. Outlines stay precise, soft tones remain even — a fine art print that holds the dreamlike stillness of the original illustration intact.
