Layers 2018

"Layers" is a 2018 painting by Azerbaijani artist Soltan Soltanlı. The painting depicts a herd of water buffalo with two goats standing on their backs, as well as several lambs lying in the grass beneath. The scene is set against a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The artist's vibrant colors and simple, expressive style capture the beauty and tranquility of nature. The title suggests the layered nature of the scene, both physically and metaphorically, with the animals forming a kind of social hierarchy. "Layers" is a playful and evocative work that invites viewers to consider the relationships between different species and the dynamics of the natural world.
