Description:
Stillness in Motion is a contemplative hand-drawn pen artwork by 12-year-old Aayansh Gupta, where rhythm and structure come together in quiet harmony. With a gradient transition from deep black to calming blue, the piece captures the tension between order and spontaneity through overlapping linear patterns.

Each stroke has been drawn individually, requiring immense focus, patience, and a steady hand. The artist experiments with texture and direction to create a layered sense of depth—evoking movement within stillness, and calm within complexity.

This work invites viewers to pause and observe how seemingly simple lines can form an intricate whole. It is a reflection of mindfulness in creation, and of a young artist’s ability to express clarity through abstraction.
