The artwork entitled “Doll Maker,” created by the artist Zaya, belongs to the Art Movement known as “Magic Realism” and falls within the genre of “genre painting.”
The painting depicts a serene figure, presumably the doll maker, who is surrounded by artisanal elements that highlight her craft. Her deep, contemplative gaze is complemented by the mystical waves of her purple and blue hair, which flow gracefully around her. The scene includes meticulously designed dolls, arranged with care, which denotes the central theme of doll making. Additionally, an array of objects such as scissors, a spool of thread, a bottle, and an arrangement of fruits on a side table, enhance the intimate, handcrafted atmosphere of the artwork. The use of vivid, yet soft colors and the intricate patterns on the fabric signify the essence of magic realism, blending the ordinary with the enchanting.
