**Oil painting** is the process of [painting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painting) with [pigments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigments) with a medium of [drying oil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drying%5Foil) as the [binder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binder%5F%28material%29). It has been the most common technique for artistic painting on wood panel or canvas for several centuries, spreading from Europe to the rest of the world. The advantages of oil for painting images include "greater flexibility, richer and denser colour, the use of layers, and a wider range from light to dark".[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil%5Fpainting#cite%5Fnote-1) But the process is slower, especially when one layer of paint needs to be allowed to dry before another is applied.

I'm not a robot

The painting depicts a group of people from different cultural backgrounds, all attempting to communicate with one another. Despite their efforts, however, they are unable to fully understand one another, as their words and gestures are lost in translation.
