On the island of Resö in Sweden, I met a little fisherman. He was no more than six years old and was holding a basket in which he collected the fish handed to him by a young man, presumably his father.
It was a beautiful scene—the sea was gray, as was the sky, and the large, flat rocks typical of the area created a peaceful environment where one could get lost for hours.
This drawing is a representation of that day. Rendered mainly in sepia, the intention is to reflect the muted colors of the scene. The child and the fish stand out from the background, giving them complete prominence.
Thick and thin lines intermingle, creating a wonderful interplay achievable through the use of different nibs and Indian ink.
The image, imbued with nostalgia, aims to convey both loneliness and the deep connection between nature and man, highlighted by the passion inherent in the activities we love.

María Jimena Navarro is a Chilean painter, holding a Bachelor's degree in Plastic Arts from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. She was a distinguished student of renowned Chilean artists such as Hernán Miranda, Gonzalo Cienfuegos, and Roser Bru.
Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, both in Chile and abroad, including Guatemala, the United States, and Costa Rica, where she has lived with her family since 2015.
With a distinctly Expressionist style, incorporating color to varying degrees, she has dedicated herself to capturing everyday life in a figurative manner, exploring themes that hold personal significance in both imagery and emotional weight. These themes include urban landscapes, the human figure, and the depiction of horses—portrayed as objects in constant motion, expressing their strength and imbued with vibrant color.
María Jimena’s painting is an invitation to pause and feel, to remember, or to let ourselves be carried away. It is a tribute to life, reminding us that, ultimately, life is lived in color.
In 2022, she ventured into professional writing for the first time, participating in the "César Vidal Christian Novel Award" by The Agustin Agency with her work "Colombina y la Sonrisa de Dios" (Colombina and the Smile of God).
