The Fishers

The Fishers is a mysterious and metaphorical composition in which reality intertwines with myth. Two human figures stand on a sea floor strewn with stars, shells, and ammonites, holding large, almost symbolic fish in their arms. Their postures are calm, their faces contemplative, and the presence of the fish feels less like a scene of daily life and more like a ritual — a quiet communion with a primordial mystery.

The artist places his figures in a realm where the boundary between sky and ocean is dissolved: the sea floor becomes a cosmic space, and the figures themselves seem to act as intermediaries between the elements.
The etching is filled with symbols and fine lines that evoke a sense of antiquity and timelessness. This is not a depiction of fishing, but of belonging — to nature, to the stars, to the memory of water and earth.
