Fishing boats

1974, oil on canvas, 57x68 cm

"Fishing Boats" presents a peaceful and realistic portrayal of a fishing scene at sea. The combination of the fishing men, nets, boats, seagulls, and calm sea creates a narrative of human connection with nature, as the fishermen work in harmony with the elements to sustain their livelihood. The sky is populated with seagulls, adding a touch of movement and life to the scene. The painting invites viewers to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of a traditional fishing lifestyle and the serenity of the maritime environment.
