Beta Fish in Ring

Graceful and commanding, Beta Fish in Ring by Manuel Sarmiento is a contemporary metal sculpture that transforms motion into stillness. The sweeping curves of the fish’s extended fins are captured in mid-flow, their dramatic shapes curling into a bold circular composition. The blackened finish enhances every sculpted line, creating texture and light contrast while highlighting the natural elegance of the form.
Mounted on a minimalist rectangular base, this piece balances ornamental detail with clean geometry. The circular framing element adds a sense of enclosure and continuity—suggesting cycles, fluidity, and rhythm. It's a visually captivating work that brings a modern edge to nature-inspired subject matter.
