Dreaming Fishermans Wife Oil

This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted original by renowned artist Juliet Bright. ‘Dreaming Fisherman’s Wife’ is not art, this statement piece is the definition of a talking point.

A surreal fusion of human form and octopus, this piece explores intimacy, control, vulnerability, and connection. The bold orange tentacles contrast hard against the soft human figure, creating a striking visual tension that pulls your eye in instantly. The exaggerated eyes and fluid lines give it a dreamlike, almost hypnotic presence — part fantasy, part symbolism, part statement.

The flat green background keeps the focus locked on the subject, making it a powerful centrepiece for any room. It’s provocative without being crude, expressive without being chaotic — designed to spark conversation, not blend into the wall.

Perfect for collectors, modern art lovers, surreal art fans, or anyone who wants something different, not mass-produced wall filler.

Inspired by this masterpiece, I decided to create my own version. It’s a 75x50cm canvas board painting, beautifully framed in an upcycled gold frame.
