Growing up, my household was filled with tinned fish lunches, especially sprats. It was a staple on our dinner table, and I developed a deep appreciation for those little silver fishies. In fact, I'd say they were a big part of my childhood – and they still hold a special place in my heart today.

As I got older, I found solace and joy in drawing. And what did I draw? You guessed it – fish. Silly fish, serious fish, fish with top hats – you name it, I drew it. There was just something about those aquatic creatures that sparked my imagination and fueled my creativity.
