People and Fish
150,00 €
People and Fish is an allegorical procession through a starry eternity, where humans and fish are united in an ancient, almost sacred ritual. In the foreground, a group of figures — men, women, and children — appear as if they’ve stepped out of myth. They carry fish in their hands, on their shoulders, cradling them like sacred offerings or symbols of life itself. Their movements are calm, their faces introspective, their gazes turned inward.
In the background stretches a dark, star-filled sky that resembles both the night sea and the cosmos. Slender boats drift along its surface, guided by quiet fishermen. The boundaries blur — earth and water, sky and ocean, human and marine creature merge into a single poetic language.
This etching is filled with a sense of silence, motion, and memory. It is not merely a scene, but a parable — about journey, about connection with nature, the sea, the sky, and the depths beyond words.
