Silent Dialogue with the Moon
Oil pastels on paper, varnished
40 x 30 cm
Signed front and back
Framed and ready to hang
Silent Dialogue with the Moon is an original dream-inspired artwork by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson. Created in oil pastels on paper and finished with a protective varnish, it balances vivid colour with layered textures to capture the shifting boundary between inner vision and outer reality.
A luminous figure stands with her back to the viewer, gazing toward a moonlit sky where birds circle in silent flight. Behind her, the city emerges in stylised forms, half-constructed, half-imagined, while swirling ribbons of energy weave through the composition. Shades of violet, blue, and green evoke twilight—a liminal space between waking and dreaming.
Philosophically, the piece reflects on transition and transformation. The dialogue with the moon is wordless, yet profound: an encounter with mystery, memory, and the possibilities of change. Here, the dream does not escape reality—it illuminates it.
The artwork is presented in a minimalist IKEA frame and will be carefully packaged for delivery, arriving ready to hang.
Lovers of the Crimson Hour

Lovers of the Crimson Hour is an original work by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson, created in oil pastels and sealed with a protective varnish. With its dreamlike palette and visceral textures, the piece plunges the viewer into a shadowed world where myth and emotion blur at the edge of night.
Under a glowing, watchful moon, two vampire figures emerge from a spectral forest. One weeps crimson tears, her face pale and mournful, while the other—wilder, with emerald hair and fanged intensity—stands protectively behind. Their bond is silent but palpable, bound by longing, blood, and the eternal pull of nightfall.
The sky, streaked with crimson ribbons and flecked with golden sparks, vibrates with unseen energy. Trees lean inward, as if listening. Around them, the forest holds its breath.
Philosophically, the piece meditates on love that transcends time and form—love marked by hunger, sorrow, and transformation. The “crimson hour” is twilight, or perhaps something deeper: a moment suspended between life and death, where silence speaks louder than words, and the moon bears witness to eternal vows.
Presented in a minimalist IKEA frame, this evocative piece is ready to hang, and ready to haunt.
