Oil pastel on fine art paper, 11x8-inch, is one of Vahidi’s most arresting emotional landscapes, a compact work that carries weight and tensions. The palette, warm, bruised, and luminous at once, intensifies the internal pull of the composition and creates an atmosphere where vulnerability and containment coexist. The body is not the subject but the site: a place where tension settles, shifts, and resurfaces.

This work offers curators a direct line into Vahidi’s evolving practice. Within its intimate scale, it holds a powerful presence, revealing how the subtle dramas of ordinary days can be transformed into a raw, resonant visual language.
