ANGLERFISH (Series “LIGHT AND DARKNESS’)

Acrylic on canvas, 16″X20″

You do not need fish – you need prey…

You are a catcher. Your mind, your cunning and ruthlessness make you omnipotent. This feeling of omnipotence nourishes and intoxicates you…

 

 

Your strong and reliable boat hangs in the space between two worlds – water and heaven. Your first excitement has passed for a while, a passionate desire to catch prey has abated. Silver beings, treacherously captured by you and already forgotten, have quieted forever at the bottom of your boat …

Your little world – your boat – sways in time with the measured breathing of the ocean. The hour, when everything in the Universe is losing its shape, is coming. Everything is changing places, the worlds are mixed, flowing into each other… Time stops its run…

Stars are above your head and under your feet. The frosty light of the moon sparks the vapor exhaled by the ocean. This light attracts you as well as the brilliant bait on your fishing pole captivated the silver creatures you caught. But this time, an irresistible, coveted light flickers at the end of another hunter’s fishing rod. And you still do not understand that you are no longer an almighty catcher, you are prey.

…From somewhere in the depth of space the Anglerfish slowly and inevitably rises…
