Bay of Bengal Fisherman - Chennai, India figurative painter

Bay of Bengal Fisherman - Chennai, India figurative painter"In boat after boat, they dream on deck rocking gently by the piers of Kasimedu, the smell of fish and motor oil in the air. No one notices me taking their picture. No one cares. Theyre making up for days and nights chasing mackerel, prawns and sardines in the rough waters of the Bay of Bengal. A shift lasts 24 hours or more, pays $20 or less and ends with a few hours of sleep. Shut eye, the most precious catch of all." Pigment ink on paper Unframed
