Christian Bustamante expertly uses acrylics on canvas to paint the vibrant figure of a red snapper that has just been caught in an energizing yellow background. “For this composition, I drew inspiration from my country’s rich artisanal fishing heritage,” says the Salvadoran artist. “The inspiration sprung from the waters of the sea that sustain so many low-income families in coastal communities, becoming a vital link to the reality around me. The choice to portray a red snapper is not just aesthetic; it is a statement about the cultural and economic importance of this species in people's daily lives. Every stroke and shade in the painting aims to capture the essence of artisanal fishing, an activity that is not just a livelihood but a way to preserve deep-rooted traditions.”
