Mataveni Fisherman by Juan in Lake Worth Beach
Mataveni Fisherman
Acryilic and charcoal on canvas.
This image depicts a fisherman from the Mataveni jungle in the Amazon, where locals rely on fishing from nearby rivers for their health and diet. While they strive to preserve their traditions and pass down knowledge to younger generations, the influx of external goods, such as canned food, is causing them to forget their traditional practices. The growing waste from packaged products is becoming a concern, threatening the well-being of future generations and causing ancestral ways to fade away.
