Ignoring the details and decoration, this picture can be simplified into a piece of abstract pattern with circles and triangles as its essential components. A couple of circles in different size were scatted on the canvas randomly, for example the faces, balls, wheels, eyes and even those trees. All of those circles were unified under a well designed hierarchy. The first level is the group of big faces, which occupy about one fifth area of the whole picture. They are the dominant elements on the canvas. Beside the proportion another reason made them so attractive is that they are face with facial features and expression which are easy to catch the audiences’ eyes.
Although, those circles are locate randomly on the canvas. It is not to say they are out of organization. Actually, they are connected by a group of triangles. Starting from the shoulder, through arm, hand, waist, leg to the foot, the contour of portray draw a obvious triangle continually and completely. As nodes, the faces (circles) are right on the top of triangles (body). Also we can view the whole family as an entire triangle. Therefore, the composition seems symmetry and stable.

I assume this is a response to Haemin's post "La familia pinzon-1965"? Please put this in the "comments" section of her post.
stable comosiation vs. a flexible feeling

If we endow the real means back to those abstract shapes, we will be back to mundane. The groups of abstract shapes became a group of portrays. I found that the sense of balance, which created by the circles and triangles, was broken by my daily experience. The statues were over fat, even fatter than the maximum body that human can bear. They just like balloons full of gas and easy to crash. Therefore the feeling of stable no longer existed, instead, those hollow, flexible, inflated bodies transferred a feeling of light and infirmity.
