A small-scale pastel and chalk sketch by Irena Klonek, showcasing an abstract composition on a piece of paper from an old book. The unique canvas, subtly transpiring through the paint, adds an extra layer of character to the artwork.

The background of the sketch is left untouched, providing a neutral base for the composition. The top is open and free, where as the bottom is filled with energetic colours and lines: purples, reds, greens, yellows and whites merge together, yet leaving space for each to breath, introduce dynamism, which is mirrored with a thicker trace of dark pencil. As the colors blend in the background, they create a harmonious mix, adding depth and complexity to the overall composition. The pastel hachure technique allows for the colors to interact organically.

The use of an old book page as the canvas adds an intriguing texture and history to the piece. Irena Klonek's skillful application of pastel techniques brings life to this abstract composition, inviting viewers to appreciate the interplay of colors and the unique surface on which the artwork is presented.
