Alex- as someone who loves symbolism and references, I don't think your work is out of step with the times. The work looks contemporary to me, and I enjoy the subtle juxtaposition of the traditional (the instruments and decor) with the new (clothing and the subjects themselves.)
The execution of this painting is spectacular as usual. It has a complete feeling of depth and atmosphere while staying loose.
I can't even begin to say enough about the composition. It works so well, and I wonder how you came up with it!
Cheers!
