“Moi Koi” – Signed 8.5" x 11" Art Print
Price: $44.00 Format: 8.5" x 11" digitally photographed art reproduction Edition: Limited to 200 signed & numbered prints
“Moi Koi” is a high‑quality art print based on an original painting created by Bao‑Nguyen Doan and co‑painted with his mother during a community adult art class in Corona, California. The piece has deep sentimental value and represents a meaningful moment of creativity, collaboration, and growth.
About the Artwork
“Moi Koi” loosely translates to “lazy fish,” and the painting captures a lone koi navigating stormy seas under moonlit skies. The imagery reflects resilience, humor, and the quiet determination to keep moving even when life feels overwhelming. The fish drifts through waves with a calm spirit, embracing the journey rather than fighting it.
The original painting was created over a decade ago using traditional paint mediums (oil or acrylic). The exact medium has been forgotten over time, but the texture and depth of the original canvas remain beautifully preserved in this reproduction.
Artistic Background
This artwork was born from a shared experience between the artist and his mother in an adult education painting class. One of their classmates suggested the name “Moi Koi,” which stuck instantly and brought the piece to life. The painting became a symbol of creativity, family connection, and the joy of learning.
