    Does anybody knows which kind of work is this? Does it have any human hand? I used to saw this in poor houses decoration when I was a child, then they disappeared from everywhere. I don't know which decade it was a trend, maybe 1960? 70? Does anybody knows? The frame is very characteristic too.

    I've seen these too. They're made of foiled paper, in factories as far as I know, just don't ask me where.

    In fact it isn't phosphorescent neither iridescent... The title is just to draw attention. Now I know it's foil art, this one from 1980.

    Thank you very much. That's it, foil art. Yes I wonder how they did this in the factories and where haha seems like an Asian product, even the themes. People say this one in the pucture is from 1980s. But this art was very common since 19th century, considered folk art when made by hand. Thank you very much. Take a look at this, if you're interested: https://folkartmuseum.org/exhibitio...e related to,and patterns were often employed.

    Thank you! That was exactly the feeling I was going for! The fish is actually a rainbow trout, though.

    :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:Here’s an example of roughly what the fish looked like on the can before I used it as a craft supply:
