This original artwork on paper captures the bold, graphic form of a fish through Daniel O’Connell’s distinctive use of colour, movement and expressive linework. Saturated yellow and vivid green are grounded by strong black detailing, while scattered blue and olive paint marks bring a sense of spontaneity and movement to the composition.

The generous white ground allows the fish to become the clear focal point, creating a piece that feels playful, contemporary and full of personality. Inspired by the natural environment surrounding Daniel’s Palm Beach studio, Green and Yellow Fish brings the colour and energy of the Australian coastline into the home through a distinctly artistic lens.

About the Artist:

Daniel O’Connell is a Sydney based artist known for his vibrant, detailed paintings that explore colour, movement and form. Working from his Palm Beach studio, his practice is closely connected to the natural environment, transforming familiar coastal subjects into expressive works filled with colour and personality.

About the Work:

In Green and Yellow Fish, O’Connell transforms a familiar marine form through saturated colour, loose pigment and bold graphic lines. Vivid green moves across a brilliant yellow body, while finely drawn fins and sweeping black marks give the work both structure and movement.

The scattered splashes surrounding the fish reinforce the spontaneity of O’Connell’s process, creating a work that sits somewhere between observation and abstraction. Bright, energetic and slightly unexpected, it reflects the artist’s fascination with how colour can completely transform the character of an image.
