When a boy was born to a family in Japan, a koi flag was hung over the house. But, as they say, hope for good luck, but don't make a mistake yourself - carps have to fight for life, overcome obstacles in order to get food and continue the race. Koi is a symbol of not only good luck, but also victory, perseverance, courage in the fight. And also a symbol of an independent nature and fortitude. But at the same time, koi carps in Japan are a symbol of love, even the words "love" and "koi" are the same in Japanese.
The poppy, in turn, was a multifaceted symbol among different peoples. There are many legends and myths about it, poppy - a symbol of happiness, eternal love, joy. Buddhists were firmly convinced that the poppy appeared after the sleeping Buddha touched the ground with his eyelashes.
In China, there is a legend that those fish that can climb up the Yellow River fall into the realm of the Dragon and as a result of their struggle for success, the carp koi becomes a dragon or fish dragon. Therefore, this fish is called the king of all fish, it is considered a symbol of power and superiority.

My name is Anna Shabalova and I`m full-time and independent professional artist from Ukraine. In many of my works, you will find kind of surreal stories filled with positive imagery, vibrant colors, and unexpected details, in which my personal view of such a rich world around us is reflected. With the help of different images in my paintings, I conduct a dialogue with the audience, often touch upon important social topics, but I speak in positive key. That`s why customers like to participate in such dialogues so much. I consider myself a multi-dimensional artist as my primary painting style is surrealistic. Every day I look around me, and I find many subjects for my works. Often, nature inspires me: I like to take, as a basis for my paintings, the elements of flora and fauna, the images that seemed to us so familiar, and fill them with a completely different meaning! I know that I always have something to tell people, and with the help of my art, I create my own picture of the world. My artworks are found in private collections in the USA, Israel, Europe, and Ukraine. Among my works, customers will find that special painting that will perfectly decorate their interior.
