Painting description

The painting depicts a group of people standing one behind the other against a dark background. The colors are vivid: from blues through greens to pink and purple accents in their clothing. Each person wears a face mask, which immediately brings to mind the reality of the pandemic. The composition is simple but full of hidden emotions. The atmosphere of the painting is slightly melancholic, reminding us of isolation and the need to protect one another. The artist used flat color fields, which lends the whole a poster-like character. The style somewhat resembles realistic illustration, but with a touch of simplification. Thanks to this, the painting exudes calm, while at the same time it can prompt reflection. Do these masks make people feel safer, or rather even more distant from one another? The emotions this work evokes are varied. On the one hand, there is a sense of community; on the other—of isolation. Because a mask is such a 'tool' that hides the face, yet can reveal humanity. And my younger brother would say, "These people are in line for ice cream!" And I thought what an interesting world that would be, where everyone stands with the hope that there is something sweet at the end. These personal reflections make this painting linger in the mind for longer.
