This painting was inspired by a documentary about Lembata — an island where life flows to the rhythm of the sea and ancient traditions remain alive. In the foreground is an ordinary day, filled with the quiet anticipation of a great journey. The men prepare their boat, blending ancestral knowledge with the harsh demands of the ocean. But this is more than fishing. It’s a preparation for a whale hunt — a ritual woven into the culture, where the sea nourishes, tests, and connects. Fishermen is not just about craft — it's about courage, community, and the ability to live in harmony with the powerful forces of nature.
