Artist Antoine Roegiers (b. 1980, Braine-l’Alleud) painted this work shortly after the birth of his son. He imagines an ‘internal’ raft that appears to be shielded from external dangers. But how dangerous is the sea monster in this picture? Is this a meeting or a confrontation? Sublime or life threatening? Is the monster a reflection of the man himself?
