About This Painting

"Without WiFi" is a beautifully composed oil on canvas, measuring 135x110 cm, featuring three individuals on a pier, immersed in the act of fishing. This serene activity highlights a return to simplicity and traditional interactions that require presence and patience. The calm sea and expansive horizon in the background serve as metaphors for the vastness and peace of the natural world, contrasting sharply with the often chaotic digital realms.

The playful, balloon-like molecular structures floating in the scene add a whimsical, surreal touch, symbolizing the unseen waves of connectivity and information that permeate the air, yet in this scene, they are unobtrusive and merely part of the background, emphasizing a break from digital engagement.
