“Saint Peter Fisherman” by KTHR in L’Ametlla de Mar, Spain for Festival EFÍMURS.
KTHR: Here’s one of my paintings of Festival EFÍMURS which I paid tribute to the sacred patron of the fishermen. It’s been an honor for me to represent this character in one of the main buildings in town. Here in L’Ametlla de Mar, Saint Peter is celebrated every year and even though the new generations aren’t very religious the tradition and the believing of this entity is still important for all the fishermen. Represented with his characteristic white beard, his two keys and the pope’s ring also known as the fishermen ring. Wearing the actual yellow suit for fishermen and with the small detail of the fishing moment painted bellow this is how I pictured Saint Peter and hope everyone likes it as much as I enjoyed painting it for my hometown.
