Painting description

The image depicts an unusual group of figures, presented in a playful way. All the figures’ heads resemble buttocks, which immediately catches the eye and brings a smile. A variety of hairstyles and hair colors are visible: gray, brown, red, blonde. The backgrounds are kept in subdued grays, allowing the focus to remain on the characters. Purple elements of the outfits add a touch of elegance while also breaking the overall formality. The atmosphere is full of humor and detachment, perhaps even a slight mockery of traditional family portraits. The painting’s style is strongly defined, with thick brushstrokes that give it a distinctive character. The artist makes no effort to hide their irony, which is further emphasized by the gesturing of one of the figures (showing a well-known rude gesture). And what if Grandma had such a nose? The technique of using intense colors and simple forms evokes associations with naïve art. Looking at this painting usually elicits a mix of laughter and surprise, but also a certain reflection on how seriously we approach things that do not always demand seriousness. The combination of colors and shapes is both charming and provocative, making it impossible to pass by indifferently.
