This reclaimed wood fish wall sculpture is a unique statement piece that blends primitive folk art with modern sustainable design. Constructed entirely from abandoned wood found on city streets, it brings texture, color, and history into your living space. The background features washed blues and earthy tones, while the fish itself pops with striking pinks, yellows, and white accents.
The Story Behind the Art:
“The Sentinel of York” While this piece serves as stunning decor, it carries a deeper narrative born between the rivers of England and the streets of South America.
The Inspiration: The artwork depicts a fish with a “penetrating look”—always on alert. It was inspired by the artist’s time in York, along the rivers Ouse and Foss, contrasted with memories of living in Buenos Aires where a sense of insecurity often replaced friendly greetings with distrust.
The Resolution: Upon moving to Madrid, the artist found a welcoming atmosphere where strangers looked at one another with kindness. Inspired by this comfort, they gathered abandoned wood to create a creature that transforms that alertness into a guardian-like presence.
