Description:
In Hands of Bloom, two exaggerated hands — perhaps those of the artist herself — dissolve into a profusion of flowers, symbolizing the fragile unity between human creation and the natural world. The bold gestures of crimson paint traverse a lush, almost dreamlike landscape of greens, pinks, and yellows, evoking both vitality and vulnerability.
The work speaks of transformation and surrender — the moment when human touch ceases to dominate and instead merges with the pulse of nature. It is an appeal, at once intimate and universal: save the nature, before it slips through our fingers.
Title: Cathedral of Ashes
Medium: Oil pastels and acrylic on paper

Varnished, signed, and framed
Description:
Cathedral of Ashes transforms a devastated forest into a sacred space — a cathedral built not of stone, but of scorched trunks and ghostly branches. The arches formed by intertwined limbs evoke both reverence and grief: nature’s resilience shining through destruction.
A single green sprout emerges from the ashen ground, a fragile hymn of renewal in the aftermath of fire. The work becomes a cry for awareness — a visual prayer and a protest against ecological neglect.
Through glowing reds and deep umbers, Laura Bernardeschi Nelson calls upon us to protect our forests, to recognise that the earth itself is holy, and that every flame we ignite burns within us too.
