The pencil drawing by the late Ali Golestaneh, exudes a calm and serene atmosphere, achieved through its use of soft, pastel colors and gentle, flowing lines. The abstract forms suggest natural elements, like flowers or plants, with yellow and green tones standing out against a backdrop of muted purples and pinks. The drawing's texture, created by the layered strokes of the pencil, adds depth and movement, evoking a sense of tranquility and peacefulness. The overall composition feels harmonious and balanced, inviting the viewer to reflect and find a moment of quiet contemplation in the subtle beauty of the scene.
