From the artist: "Old fishing boats have always fascinated me. Those on the verge of falling apart, and sinking into the sea seem to call me, and I cannot pass one by without shooting a photograph as inspiration for a future painting. I seek to capture their essence, in a time less hurried, a calmness of spirit. I want to preserve their beauty."
