This is a colorful artwork featuring a dynamic composition of koi fish interspersed with greenery and abstract patterns. The fish, rendered in shades of orange with white and black markings, appear to be swimming amidst a backdrop of dark green with hints of lighter green foliage and grid-like structures. The image has a vibrant, almost mosaic-like quality, with the fish seeming to float over the layered patterns beneath. The artwork is numbered and signed by the artist in the lower margin.

A colorful, abstract print featuring a stylized figure in the center with a large, round head and a suit, set against a background of geometric and organic shapes. The background is composed of a grid-like pattern with various shades of brown, black, and red, and includes musical notation along the bottom edge. To the right, there is a solid red rectangle with a grid of yellow dots. The artwork has a textured, layered appearance, suggesting a collage or mixed-media composition.
