Elias, Das Meer und Das Rote Meer, 2016

The imagination of a small child is so great that they can transform inanimate objects into living things. For the artist who painted these two seascapes, they are not merely representations of the sea, but ARE the sea. The two-year old artist claims that there are even fish beneath the surface. It is unfortunate that we lose the ability to imagine things into existence. Only the child and the madman can look at the world and see everything as very real and tangible. For child and the madman, there are no representations.
