Do Not Mess With Fish 268,

and you thought fish were fun!

these not so much fun, but works of art,

Feif Dong is an exceptionally talented artist who specializes in creating ultra-realistic, almost life-like three-dimensional fish paintings in transparent resin,

technically, Dong’s goldfish are as much sculptures as they are paintings, as they consist of dozens of layers of painstakingly hand-applied acrylic paint, each of which is sealed in transparent epoxy resin,

even a single mistake by the artist can ruin work done over weeks, sometimes months, so it’s definitely an art form that requires patience and concentration to get right,

I have to say they all look so realistic,

after pouring a layer of transparent resin into the vessel of his choice, and letting it dry for at least 8 hours, Feif Dong starts painting the fish with acrylic paints,

He then seals the layer with resin and once again waits for it to dry, this process is repeated as much as 20 times, until the artwork is finally complete, amazing! 

as it happens we have posted a number of posts about resin fish, here, here and here, all totally stunning, back to Feif Dong, he showcases his hand-painted masterpieces on Instagram, where he has a following of over 26,000 people at the time of this writing, and sells his work on Etsy, for anywhere between a few tens to several hundreds of dollars, depending on the size and complexity of the artwork.
