Turbot with a collage of letters. Original is acrylic on canvas, 50x50 cm.
This acrylic painting of a Turbot (Kalkan) by Dmitry Puzyrev is a vibrant companion piece to his mackerel study, continuing his signature "urban-naturalist" style. It brilliantly juxtaposes the prehistoric, rugged look of the flatfish against a backdrop of modern graphic design and calligraphy.

Visual Breakdown
- The Subject: The turbot is rendered with thick, tactile strokes of ochre, earthy brown, and turquoise. The artist captures the fish's unique asymmetrical body and bumpy texture, using highlights of white and sea-foam green to give it a "wet" look.
- The Background: Consistent with the series, the background is a neutral, textured grey that resembles a concrete slab. A strong vertical black band and a bold red "K" (likely the start of the Bulgarian word "Калкан") provide a rigid geometric structure that anchors the organic shape of the fish.
- Typography and Text: The painting is heavily layered with both Cyrillic and Latin script.
- The word "КАЛКАН" (Kalkan — the Bulgarian/Turkish word for Turbot) is repeated in various fonts, from clean stencil-style lettering to elegant, flowing calligraphy.
- Fragmented letters like "R," "H," and "U" are scattered throughout, creating a sense of visual noise that mimics a city wall or a busy fish market.
- Color Palette: While the background remains muted, the fish itself is a burst of warm oranges and cool teals, creating a sophisticated color contrast that feels both ancient and contemporary.
Style and Atmosphere
Puzyrev’s style in this work is Expressive Realism with a heavy influence of Pop Art and Street Art. By layering precise anatomical observation with messy, gestural scribbles, he bridges the gap between traditional still-life and modern street aesthetics. The work feels alive and rhythmic, as if the text is a soundtrack to the image of the fish.

About the Artist
Hi! I’m a painter, photographer, graphic designer, and motion designer—which basically means I have a very hard time sticking to just one medium, and my studio usually smells like a mix of oil paint and expensive electronics.
My collection here on Printumo is where all these worlds collide. It’s a mashup of tactile canvas textures, the precision of digital design, and a healthy dose of "creative chaos." I create decorative pieces that are meant to be lived with—art that turns a boring wall into a conversation starter (or at least a very stylish backdrop for your video calls).
Warning: Side effects of hanging my work include spontaneous compliments from guests and an increased risk of staring blankly at your wall while your coffee gets cold.
