Original artwork description:

I like to draw the objects around us, they could tell a very interesting story of their life. That picture has irons from different eras, different technologies and times. This oil painting titled “Generation” is a unique and thought-provoking piece that explores the evolution of technology through the depiction of irons—both modern and antique. The horizontal format allows for an expansive view where different generations of ironing tools are juxtaposed side by side, creating a visual narrative about progress and change over time. The composition begins with rustic, hand-cranked iron boxes from earlier centuries, characterized by their heavy metal bodies and primitive designs. These elements contrast sharply with sleeker, contemporary electric models in the foreground, showcasing advanced features like steam functionality and ergonomic handles. This artistic arrangement invites viewers to reflect on how far we have come in terms of innovation while also appreciating the historical significance of these humble household appliances. Through meticulous brushwork and careful attention to detail, the artist captures not only the physical attributes but also the symbolic meaning behind each object. Each iron tells its own story, representing various stages of human ingenuity and adaptation to new technologies. Together they form a cohesive whole that speaks volumes about our collective journey towards modernity. In essence, this painting serves as both an aesthetic delight and a philosophical commentary on technological advancement across generations. It encourages us to look back at what was once considered revolutionary while embracing current innovations without losing sight of their origins. The picture was painted from life in oil on canvas. The picture has a certificate of authenticity. The package with the picture is securely packed and fully tracked.
