“Life of Fisherman” is about a fisherman and his wife resting together after a long day’s toil, sharing a quiet smoke under the dark night. Their weary yet intimate faces, drawn in rustic grunge strokes and textured forms, evoke resilience, companionship, and the silent poetry of labor entwined with love.

When I visit villages along riverbanks or sea shores, I observe the concentration of a fisherman in his daily routine with fishing, fish, and boat. They work hard, yet find joy in it. An essence I wanted to capture with earth colors on paper.
