In this portfolio I'm showing only a part of my work offered to Boats and the Sea. The idea started when the European community gave some money to fishermen for brake their boats and stop fishing on coast. One day i went back at the same place i had grown, a small quite boats' yard with 4 giant wind mills as background and saw only "Brocken boats" ropes and anchors. My heart broke too and i decided to start paint my memories through the time. Some times faces of girls jump and dance like fairies or mermaids on my eyes during I'm thinking what to do. you can see them in some of my works too, thank you
