Caption

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

2. Shapes and objects: Colorful buildings with domes, police officer figure, two children figures, cars, road, grassy area, platter of food

3. Colours: Vibrant palette including blue sky, green grass, multicolored buildings (turquoise, pink, yellow, orange), blue police uniform, red and purple clothing on children, red and maroon cars

4. Narrative: This whimsical digital artwork presents a lively urban scene that blends reality with childlike imagination. In the foreground, a police officer interacts with two children on a grassy area. One child appears to be holding something (possibly an ice cream or treat), while another carries a large platter above their head, perhaps filled with traditional food. The background showcases a row of colorful, almost fantastical buildings with domed roofs, reminiscent of Middle Eastern or Mediterranean architecture. Cars on the road add a touch of everyday life. The scene captures a moment of community interaction, with the authority figure engaging positively with the children. The vibrant colors and playful proportions give the piece a joyful, dreamlike quality, possibly representing a child's perspective of their neighborhood or a cultural celebration.

5. Original Artist: While this is an original composition by Mehrdad Fahimi, the style and use of bright colors in an urban setting are reminiscent of the works of British artist Michael Craig-Martin. Craig-Martin is known for his bold, colorful depictions of everyday objects and scenes, often with a simplified, almost cartoon-like quality. However, Fahimi's inclusion of cultural elements and the more narrative aspect of the scene give this piece its unique character. Craig-Martin's works can be found in various collections, including the Tate Gallery in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
