Using soft Pastel hues, the painting reflects influences of Naïve art (primitivism), characterized by its simplified forms and childlike innocence. The piece pays homage to the biblical story of Jacob’s dream, rendered in a style that borders on Surrealism in its dreamlike atmosphere. Overall, this work serves as a thoughtful study, blending primitive aesthetics with a spiritual theme on delicate paper.
