Rain over the city

In this whimsical yet melancholic scene, a vibrant fish floats above a quiet cityscape, carrying an entire world on its back—houses, dreams, and perhaps forgotten hopes. Painted in vivid oranges and deep aquatic blues, the fish becomes a surreal guardian or messenger, drifting silently through an atmosphere heavy with memory. Dripping rain descends from the top of the canvas like tears or melting thoughts, blurring the boundaries between sky and sea, above and below. The city, with its warm rooftops and clustered homes, lies still under this quiet downpour—resigned, waiting, dreaming. A crescent moon cradle, nestled beneath the fish, holds a small figure—an echo of sleep, or a soul caught in limbo between storm and silence. Rain Over the City captures the fragile balance between shelter and exposure, between the inner world and the external chaos. It's a portrait of isolation within togetherness, a story of surreal protection amid emotional floodwaters. The rain doesn’t only fall—it washes, blurs, and remembers.

On a dark, rainy night, anything can happen. Sometimes, if you look through a raining crying window, you can see your destiny. Perhaps this is a dream, or a fairy tale, or just your fantasy, but in any case, it is part of your story. Take a closer look through the rainy streams and you will see a huge Faronica fish appear, carrying an entire sleeping village on its back. It can float past unnoticed, or it can bring you good luck and fulfillment of desires if you manage to catch her eye.
The original acrylic painting on canvas was created under the impression of the old Slavic legend about the fish Faronika. This fish only appears on rainy nights. It is so huge that a village with churches and trees has grown on it. If the fish is in a good mood, it will fulfill your wish, if not, with one blow of its tail it will cause a tsunami and destroy the entire city.
