Having breakfast with Shirin at Kolakchall.
1. Medium: Digital painting (created using Adobe Fresco and Tablet)
2. Shapes and objects: Mountains, farm buildings (barn, silo, house), cypress trees, people figures, picnic tables, flowers, large water tower or silo
3. Colours: Blue sky, beige mountains, green trees and grass, pink barn, yellow house, blue smaller building, various colors for people and flowers
4. Narrative: This digital artwork presents a lively rural scene set against a backdrop of mountains. In the foreground, we see a community gathering, with people seated at picnic tables and others walking around. The setting appears to be a farm or vineyard, with distinctive buildings including a pink barn, a yellow house, and a prominent water tower or silo. Cypress trees and colorful flowers add to the pastoral atmosphere. The mountains in the background, painted in soft beige tones, create a sense of depth and grandeur. This piece captures the essence of community life in a rural setting, perhaps depicting a harvest festival or family gathering. The artist has skillfully balanced the natural landscape with human activity, creating a warm and inviting scene that celebrates both the beauty of nature and the joy of human connection.
5. Original Artist: While this is an original work by Mehrdad Fahimi, the style and subject matter are reminiscent of the works of American folk artist Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson Moses). Like Grandma Moses, Fahimi here uses a naive style to depict a rural scene with multiple elements of community life. However, Fahimi's use of digital medium and more vibrant color palette 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.
