About the painting

He speaks with the big ones.

Violence is his language.

 

His way of breathing.

In this small aquarium,

he has become someone.

He scares the goldfish.

He imposes.

He crushes.

We watch him.

We fear him.

We follow him.

The king of kings.

But the aquarium does all the work.

Because at sea…

he disappears.

So he turns.

Again.

Again.

Always in the same place.

Swollen with importance

in a world too small for him.

He doesn't grow.

He just takes all the space

he's given.
