In this digital illustration, Rakos leans into a playful, cartoon-inspired aesthetic to reimagine marine life. The three fish are rendered with distinct, expressive silhouettes, floating against a backdrop that balances structured abstraction with a sense of fluid movement. Each creature is a study in high-contrast patterning, utilizing a spectrum of saturated hues that give the composition a rhythmic, upbeat quality.

The portrait orientation focuses the viewer’s eye on the vertical stack of the subjects, emphasizing their individual textures and whimsical proportions. By stripping away realistic environmental detail, the artist allows the interplay of geometric shapes and hand-drawn charm to take center stage, resulting in a work that feels both meticulously designed and joyfully spontaneous.
