Olive

The image portrays an abstract representation of a forest scene, with a dense arrangement of light and dark strokes mimicking the texture of tree branches and leaves; the interwoven forms suggest an intricate pattern of foliage, capturing the essence of a natural landscape in an impressionistic style through the subtle interplay of shades and lines, invoking a sense of depth and complexity, where the viewer’s eye is drawn to the variations in tone, texture, and the overall dynamic movement of the composition.
