Let's see, then..
There are three lots of two-symbol groups separated by slashes. The number of groups, and the fact that there are two repeats, make it a plausible idea that this is a letter-by-letter substitution cipher of one kind or another.
Working under that assumption, let's transcribe the message:
abc decf ge
Then, we do the only thing we can: we ...

I'm not sure where to go from there...

This looks like some sort of cryptogram -- each symbol in the ciphertext replacing some symbol in the plaintext. "7l8" occurs over and over again, often at the start of a line; could it be "the"? If so then "7l858" is presumably "there" (could be "these" but that seems less likely) and then probably "l6&...

Not sure if there's anything more to the puzzle, as the plaintext itself looks pretty cryptic.

First of all, as indicated by the write_as_ascii() function, the message is actually a series of bytes (uint8_t), not 16-bits words. The words given are the combination of two bytes in a little endian format, meaning the least-significant byte is first (e.g. 5dcb is actually the byte CB followed by the byte 5D).
Moreover, the decoding function write_as_ascii(...

Some observations that might eventually amount to something, or not:
Without the artist's signature, it's hard to know if the painting is oriented as intended. It could be upside-down. It could be sideways too, but I for one find it more aesthetically pleasing in portrait position.
When we do get it right side up, there's no guarantee that the information ...
