While walking on the beautiful and wide beach of Ericeira on Portugal's west coast, I saw this fisherman casting his rod into the sea. Using his long line, he fishes from the beach directly out of the raging sea. Portuguese fishermen are incredibly proud of their techniques.
The image exudes warmth and calm through the earthy colours of the beach and cliffs. It almost looks like the sky merges into the sea. It is a minimalist yet detailed scene.
Last winter, I lived and worked from Portugal for a few months. It is one of my favourite countries, because of its nice climate, beautifully wild coast, the possibility of surfing, delicious food, beautiful music and nice people. All these things come together in the idyllic coastal town of Ericeira.
This picture will look great as an eye-catcher above the sofa in the living room, on the wall in the bedroom, or as an inspiring piece of art in the office.
