Madjid Rahnavardkar (1943) - Mutter und Kind im Park

The painting depicts an iconic and intimate motif for Madjid: an elegantly dressed mother wearing a protective summer hat sits on a white wooden bench in the park, while the small blonde child in a white dress seeks loving eye contact with her. Artistic execution (style & technique): The work masterfully demonstrates Madjid's characteristic “Unconscious Expressionism” with a strong impressionist imprint. His unmistakable handwriting shows in the thick, vital brushwork (impasto), where the colors are blended and dabbed directly into one another. The garden landscape and the flower meadow in the foreground merge in a virtuoso play of light, shadow, and shimmering flecks of color (white, yellow, and violet tones). Madjid consciously avoids rigid contours to capture, instead, the pure, vibrant holiday mood, emotion, and atmosphere of the summer moment.
