painted paper cutouts

A pastoral scene inspired by the rural life themes and composition of Jean-François Millet—depicting farmers engaged in everyday activities such as harvesting, sowing, or resting in a field. Rendered in the whimsical style of children’s book illustration, using textured collage and painted paper cutouts. The figures have simplified, expressive features and the landscape is built from layered, tactile materials. Soft, earthy color palette evokes warmth and nostalgia. The overall tone is gentle, storybook-like, capturing the dignity and rhythm of peasant life through handcrafted visual storytelling.
