Caption

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

2. Shapes and objects: Three child-like figures, baby carriage or stroller, cream-colored background

3. Colours: Cream background; figures in purple, red, and blue; yellow and green baby carriage

4. Narrative: This digital artwork presents a charming and intimate family scene. Two child-like figures, possibly older siblings or young parents, are shown interacting with a baby in a carriage. The figure on the left, wearing a purple dress, appears to be gently touching or adjusting the baby. The figure on the right, in a red top, is holding onto the carriage, which is painted in cheerful yellow and green tones. The baby is depicted with rosy cheeks, suggesting health and happiness. The cream background focuses all attention on the interaction between the figures, creating a sense of warmth and closeness. This piece explores themes of family bonds, childcare, and the innocence of childhood. The simplistic, almost naive style of the painting adds to its charm, evoking the kind of drawing a child might make of their own family.

5. Original Artist: While this is an original work by Mehrdad Fahimi, the style is reminiscent of the naive art movement, particularly the works of American folk artist Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson Moses). Like Grandma Moses, Fahimi here uses a simplified, childlike style to depict a heartwarming family scene. However, Fahimi's use of digital medium and more contemporary subject matter gives this piece its own 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.
