Caption

1. Medium: Digital painting (created using Adobe Fresco and Tablet)

2. Shapes and objects: Seven human figures, large turquoise table or bed, pink curtain or canopy, small framed picture on wall, windows

3. Colours: Turquoise (table/bed), pink (curtain/canopy), beige (walls and floor), various colors for the figures (yellow, green, orange, blue, pink)

4. Narrative: This digital artwork presents an intriguing domestic scene, possibly a family gathering or a classroom setting. The large turquoise object dominates the composition and could be interpreted as an oversized table or bed, around which seven figures are arranged. Six figures stand around the edges, while one sits at the head, facing the others. The pink element above could be a curtain or canopy, adding a sense of intimacy to the space. A small framed picture on the wall adds a homely touch. The simplistic, almost childlike rendering of the figures gives the piece a naive charm, while the unusual proportions of the furniture create a surreal atmosphere. This painting seems to explore themes of family dynamics, communal gatherings, or perhaps storytelling. The central figure might be a parent, teacher, or storyteller, with the others as listeners or participants in a shared activity. The overall effect is one of warmth and togetherness, despite the slightly dreamlike quality of the scene.

5. Original Artist: While this is an original composition by Mehrdad Fahimi, the style and approach are reminiscent of the works of American artist Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson Moses). Grandma Moses was known for her naive style paintings that often depicted rural and domestic scenes with a childlike simplicity and charm. Like this piece, her works often featured multiple figures engaged in communal activities, with a flattened perspective and bold use of color. However, Fahimi's use of digital medium and more contemporary subject matter gives this piece a unique character. Grandma Moses' works can be found in various museums across the United States, including the Bennington Museum in Vermont and the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.
