The painting immediately draws attention with its rich palette and expressive simplicity. A distinctive feature of Grisha Danunaher's style is the bold use of bright, often contrasting colors that create an effect of decorativeness and even a certain grotesqueness. The color scheme here is quite unusual: the dominant green color of the monkey's fur, the bright yellow background, pink and blue palms – all of this creates an almost psychedelic atmosphere that nevertheless remains playful and inviting.
The painting technique is impasto, with noticeable, thick brushstrokes that give the canvas surface texture and dynamism. This enhances the feeling of "primitiveness" and immediacy characteristic of naive art. The absence of fine details and simplified forms also emphasize this aesthetic.
At the center of the composition is a monkey rendered in an expressive, almost caricatured manner. Its eyes are wide open, the gaze direct and somewhat puzzled, giving it human traits and even a certain melancholy. The cigarette in the monkey's mouth, as indicated in the title, is "someone else's," which can add layers of interpretation – from harmless mischief to deeper reflections on imitation, adopting others' habits, or even social issues. The "green" color of the monkey may be purely an artistic choice or an allusion to something natural, but here, in an urban environment, it is "spoiled" by human attributes.
The background with palms painted in unusual blue and pink tones creates an atmosphere of exoticism and at the same time unreality. This is typical of positive surrealism, where familiar objects are depicted in unexpected contexts and colors, evoking mild bewilderment and a smile.
"Green smoker of someone else's cigarettes" can be perceived as a commentary on the absurdity of the modern world, where animals symbolizing nature and instincts adopt human habits, even harmful ones, and find themselves in unnatural conditions. The artist's ironic, "idiotic" approach allows him to address serious matters with a touch of humor and without excessive moralizing. The painting does not so much criticize as invite the viewer to reflect on the paradoxes of existence, while remaining light and accessible for perception.
