This expressive figurative painting by S. Matthijs , dated 1998 , depicts a subdued yet powerful family scene. The artist works with a free, almost naive style and, using beautiful, deep colors, creates a warm and human atmosphere. The composition exudes tranquility and connection, while the strong color contrasts give the work a vibrant and contemporary feel.
Striking are the intense cobalt blue background , the ochre and yellow hues , and the earthy colors, which together create a harmonious yet exciting whole. The figures are deliberately stylized, allowing the painting room for interpretation and emotion. The blue cat in the foreground adds a playful and symbolic element to the scene.
The work is painted on cardboard and stylishly finished in a black wooden frame , which gives the painting added strength and depth. A characterful artwork that fits well in both modern and classic interiors.
