Summer Rain – Fish Shadowbox (Color Study)
by Daria Aksenova
“Do you love cute art? Yes! How about fish? Yes again?! Then this adorably cheeky fish shadowbox is right for you! Adopt him, name him, hang him on the wall!”
He has earned his place to float in his shadowbox as a hand-cut, watercolor, and ink illustration.
I made this darling while trying to decide on a color scheme for the finished piece. It was an essential step in creating the original, sold-out “Summer Rain” Shadowbox Paper Sculpture, and you can view her at DariaAksenova.com. This piece is part of a trio. His fish shadowbox siblings, in a pink color scheme, are available at DariaAksenova.com/available-work.
He is framed in a modern white frame, with archival materials, including True Vue Museum Glass. The work will ship wired and ready to hang for your convenience and will include a courtesy hanger. Grab your hammer or, in my case, a shoe and make him yours! 🙉🙊🙈

Daria Aksenova
Daria Aksenova uses ink as it is an unforgiving medium that precludes editing and demands precision. Individual elements are then hand-cut with a scalpel and suspended against each other until the desired depth is achieved. Her technique demands a steady hand and unfailing commitment, often requiring over a hundred hours of dedication and intimacy with each piece.
The Subject matter choice is driven by her interest in symbolism, often reflecting conflict inherent to the human condition, as echoed through mythology and folklore. The balance of playful storytelling coupled with deeper-seated significance provides unique yet relatable work. Her pieces evoke a dreamscape-like narrative that pulls in both the eye and mind, presenting space and opportunity for the imagination to wander into a deep narrative that can only be experienced first hand.
