This original oil pastel work by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson captures a figure in a moment of radiant stillness. Bathed in golden light, the solitary woman stands framed by arched shadows, her form glowing in deep reds and warm fire tones. The scene feels both sacred and cinematic—like a memory or a vision caught in motion.
Using only oil pastels, the artist brings richness and texture to the composition. Layers of ochre, crimson, and charcoal create a dance of light and dark, drawing the viewer into a contemplative space. The red garment—fluid and luminous—becomes a symbol of presence, vulnerability, and quiet strength.
There is mystery here, but also clarity. A sense of transformation flickers at the edges of the frame, as if the figure is stepping from shadow into selfhood—into light.
