Smiling artist sits among swirling painted koi on studio floor

Overhead bird's-eye view of a smiling woman with long, dark, curly hair in a loose side braid, sitting cross-legged on a studio floor, looking up at the camera with a warm, gentle smile. She wears a cream paint-splattered t-shirt and denim-blue dungarees covered in orange and navy paint stains, leather bracelets on her wrist, a delicate pendant necklace, and holds a paintbrush with orange-red paint on its tip. Around her, three large koi fish are painted directly on the floor in loose watercolor and ink style, swirling in a circular formation that frames her like a mandala. The koi have vivid orange-red bodies, black and navy markings, and flowing translucent fins that dissolve into wet, bleeding washes of pigment.
Details and environment:
Expressive paint splatters, drips, and droplets scattered across a cream, textured paper-like floor. A paint bowl of orange paint beside her, a jar of brushes at top left, small paint jars and a wooden easel/crate at top right, a paint-stained cloth at bottom left.
Color palette:
Vibrant orange, burnt vermilion, deep navy blue, indigo, and black accents against warm cream and off-white.
Style and technique:
Hybrid of photorealistic portrait and loose Japanese sumi-e/watercolor illustration. Wet-on-wet bleeding edges, ink splatter, visible paper grain, high-contrast saturated pigments.
Lighting and camera:
Soft, warm natural studio light, even illumination, top-down wide-angle shot, shallow depth blending into the painted floor, cinematic composition with circular symmetry, 8K, ultra-detailed.
