The characters are rendered in rich tones of brown and blue, with fluid lines that give a sense of movement and connection between them. Surrounding them are various elements, including woven baskets and fruits.


The artist’s unique style blends realism with abstraction, creating a sense of cultural warmth and vitality. Casimir’s signature is visible in the lower corner, marking this piece as part of his distinctive body of work, which often explores themes of community, tradition, and the human spirit. The muted frame complements the painting, allowing the colorful expressions within to stand out vividly, making it an eye-catching addition to any collection.
