AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Farah Diba - Catrain, circa 2020

Original acrylic painting on canvas. 47 x 44.5 x 1 cm. Unique artwork.

THE ARTWORK

A smiling cat becomes a vehicle in Catrain. Its curved body shelters a gathering of small figures in sky-blue compartments, while flower-centred wheels give the unlikely train its playful rhythm. Below, a blue landscape opens onto a second world of small buildings, fantastical beings and unexpected encounters.

Dusty rose, mauve and earth tones soften the vivid blue, while touches of green, orange, yellow and red give individual characters their own presence. Bold outlines hold the scene together and guide the eye between the passengers and the world beneath them.

For Farah Diba, the cat-like figure offers shelter. The passengers share a journey while each keeps a distinct character. The artist carries that idea onto the reverse of the canvas in a handwritten message.

"Life is a journey, not a station, and every shade is part of your story."
