This is an original oil painting on canvas, titled "The Shrimp Fisher Between Ebb And Flow", created by the artist K. Storme in 1998. The work powerfully captures the essence of traditional shrimp fishing on horseback, a practice OFFICIALLY recognized as UNESCO intangible cultural heritage, which makes this work extra special for lovers of maritime art. The painting is executed in oil on canvas, with the artist using an expressive, impasto technique with thick, visible brushstrokes. This impasto style gives the work texture and depth. The color palette is dominated by the vibrant yellow of the fisherman's raincoat, which forms a strong contrast with the muted gray, green, and brown tones of the sea and sky. On the back of the stretched canvas, the work is signed and dated "STORME K 1998". The artwork is in excellent condition. The canvas is tightly stretched on the original wooden stretcher frame and shows no damage. The paint layers are completely intact, and the colors have retained their original brightness. The painting is offered unframed, which emphasizes the direct and robust appearance of the depiction. Due to its timeless subject and expressive style, this painting fits into various interiors, from classic to modern. It brings an authentic piece of Belgian coastal culture and maritime history into the living room, study, or hall.
