Moonlit Passage (or your preferred title) Medium: Oil pastels on paper Size: 35 × 25 cm Presentation: Sold framed, varnished, and signed by the artist (front and back) Artist: Laura Bernardeschi Nelson Description: Moonlit Passage is less a depiction of a scene and more a vision of a journey. A small boat drifts across shimmering waters, carrying two shadowed figures beneath a sky alive with colour. The horizon glows with shades of crimson, pink, and blue, while golden sparks dance across the surface of the water like fragments of memory or light. This work is intentionally dreamlike. The fluid forms and softened edges dissolve the line between reality and imagination, inviting the viewer to travel inward as much as outward. There is a sense of stillness here, but also of movement — a quiet voyage through time, change, and possibility. Laura Bernardeschi Nelson’s expressive use of oil pastels lends the piece its glowing textures and ethereal atmosphere. It is a painting that speaks to journeys both literal and symbolic: a passage through dusk, through silence, through the unknown.
