Few fish combine power and color the way a Yellowfin Tuna does. Built for speed and endurance, they move through open water in flashes of deep blue, silver, and brilliant yellow. When sunlight hits them just right, the colors seem to glow, making them one of the most visually striking fish in the ocean.
 
I was drawn to this subject because of that intensity of color and movement. Yellowfin are relentless swimmers, powerful and streamlined, and there’s an energy to them that feels almost electric. Capturing that sense of motion and brightness was at the heart of this painting.
 
Painted at eight feet long, this piece has a presence that’s impossible to ignore. From across a room, the bold yellows and sweeping lines immediately command attention—people often stop in their tracks when they see it. Up close, the layered color and subtle tonal shifts reveal the depth and structure that give the fish its life and realism.
 
This is a true statement piece, created for someone who wants a painting that brings light, motion, and the feeling of the open ocean into their space.
