The work is a mixed-media analog collage (original dimensions 21 x 29.7 cm) titled "Fishy" (2021), created by artist and illustrator Ottavia Marchiori.
It depicts a female figure in a vintage swimsuit and sunglasses, shielding herself with a black-and-white striped umbrella from a shower of floating fish, set against a background of phthalo green acrylic paint. The piece combines surrealist elements, irony, and a strong pop sensibility—all recurring themes in Marchiori’s work. The fish represent the absurd and unpredictable events that can occur throughout our lives. The work serves as a positive encouragement to face such occurrences with the same resolute, irreverent attitude as the woman beneath the umbrella.
