Fishing Boat Puzzle by Kristof Santy, Parkside

Kristof Santy is a Belgian painter whose enigmatic work ranges from still lifes to kaleidoscopic compositions. Rendered in bright and vivid palettes, his works possess a joyous and playful quality. The intricate compositions, characterized by their color-blocked flat planes, captivate the viewer and encourage them to embark on an entrancing journey into a stylized world.

This 1000 piece, 25" (63.5 cm) square puzzle, titled Vissersboot (Fishing Boat), depicts a fishing boat that has been lost in stormy weather. The dark and foreboding sky is contrasted by a colorful rainbow and the sailor is accompanied by a cast of various sea life. Kristof’s trademark flattened perspective and exaggerated scale of the boat add a playful quality to the piece.

The difficulty level of this puzzle is low-medium. The large variety of colours and easily distinguishable figures makes for a thoroughly enjoyable puzzle to assemble.
