Women of the Shore: The Fisherman's Wife #2

Women of the Shore: The Fisherman’s Wife by © emma cha

Salt wind in her hair, boats drift where her heart once sailed— the sea keeps its men.

A striking portrait of a coastal woman in vivid tones of turquoise, ochre, and crimson. She holds fish close, embodying labor, longing, and maritime life. The geometric stylization merges realism and abstraction, evoking dignity within hardship.

Artistic Statement: This work fuses Neo-Expressionism and Modern Figurative sensibilities with a Post-Cubist structure. Broad, textured strokes meet controlled geometry, echoing social realism and Mediterranean palette traditions while affirming contemporary emotional portraiture.

Influencing Artists: Diego Rivera, Amadeo Modigliani, Paul Gauguin, Antonio Donghi, and Tamara de Lempicka
