"Fisherman"
Marine Life and Fishermen as a Local Myth Model: How did the interest in the lives of people who make their living from the sea begin in Esirkuş's art, and what were the factors that led him to paint around this interest? We do not have enough information or data to answer this question. In his fishermen paintings he paint these people as pulling nets from the sea, weaving nets, casting their nets into the sea to catch fish, chatting among themselves, sharing their rations, guarding the dive, carrying fish boxes after the return of the catch, or as a fishing family.
