The artist about this work

The 10th painting in the “Different phases” series. Red is known to be a colour of danger and warning. The red brings out how he is ready for what is to come. He stops to look back because as we trod forward, we must never forget where we have come from. The land and water represents the different periods of life we go through and the distorted barrier shows that at any one point we can be on either side. To the right of the man’s shoulder another person is seen walking in a different direction as a reminder others also go through what we do. Fishermen were the subject as we all know fishing is all about planning and execution and it has different seasons.
