Story of Ziba was sent to Hamedan when she was in grade 1.
1. Medium: Digital painting (created using Adobe Fresco and Tablet)
2. Shapes and objects: White domed structure (mausoleum or monument), yellow building, brown building with windows, single human figure, green bushes/foliage, blue sky
3. Colours: Vibrant blue sky, white monument, yellow building, brown building, green foliage, red clothing on human figure
4. Narrative: This digital artwork depicts a scene that appears to be set in a Middle Eastern or Central Asian city. The focal point is a grand white domed structure, likely a mausoleum or important monument, standing tall against a vivid blue sky. In the foreground, colorful buildings suggest a bustling urban environment. A solitary figure, dressed in red, stands amid green foliage, providing a sense of scale and human presence. The contrast between the modern, colorful buildings and the traditional white monument creates an interesting juxtaposition of old and new. This piece seems to explore themes of cultural heritage, urban development, and the coexistence of traditional and contemporary elements in evolving cities.
5. Original Artist: While this is an original work by Mehrdad Fahimi, the style and subject matter are reminiscent of the works of British artist David Hockney, particularly his later digital paintings. Hockney is known for his vibrant use of color and his exploration of landscape and architectural subjects using digital tools. However, Fahimi's focus on Middle Eastern or Central Asian architecture gives this piece its unique character. Hockney's digital works can be found in various collections, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
