Twin Koi – Original Airbrush Painting | 16.5" x 22" | SEMA 2023

A stunning fusion of Japanese-inspired artwork, traditional Lowrider panel design, and custom automotive painting techniques, Twin Koi is a one-of-a-kind original painting created by professional airbrush artist Scott MacKay for the 2023 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

Featuring two graceful blue koi swimming through an intricate arrangement of flowing patterns and decorative panels, this artwork combines the elegance of Japanese design with the bold, layered styling of old-school Lowrider custom paint.

The painting was created on a 16.5" x 22" aluminum composite panel, featuring a traditional old-school metal flake finish that produces incredible sparkle and depth. Rich blues, detailed airbrush shading, and flowing water elements are complemented by genuine 23K gold leaf accents, adding warmth, contrast, and a touch of luxury to the composition.

The surrounding design incorporates traditional Japanese-inspired Sashiko patterns, intricate linework, and custom Lowrider-style panel graphics. Together, these elements create a unique balance of fine art, automotive craftsmanship, and decorative design.

With over 100 hours of work invested, every element was carefully developed, from the detailed koi and layered backgrounds to the gold leaf accents and intricate panel work.

The entire painting is finished in a professional show-quality high-gloss clearcoat, enhancing the depth of the artwork, bringing out the brilliance of the metal flake, and protecting the finish.
