Astral Landscape by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson

45.0 x 35.0 cm

Astral Landscape Description Astral Landscape is an expressive oil pastel artwork on paper that depicts a fantasy planet emerging from a dreamlike state. Through a vivid palette of crimson, pink, and warm earth tones, the composition suggests an otherworldly terrain shaped by emotion and imagination rather than physical geography. A distant horizon and abstracted mountainous forms establish depth, while flowing, spiral-inflected lines rise across the surface, evoking symbolic figures, organic energy, or inner pathways of thought. The gestural line work introduces rhythm and movement, reinforcing the sense of a living, astral environment connected to the subconscious. Recurrent spiral motifs act as visual symbols of transformation, continuity, and introspection, inviting viewers into a contemplative and immersive experience. Created with oil pastels on paper, the artwork maintains a tactile, expressive surface that reflects the immediacy of the artist’s process. The piece is varnished to enhance color richness and longevity, signed by the artist, and professionally framed. Measuring 45 × 35 cm, it is ideally suited for collectors of contemporary abstraction, fantasy-inspired imagery, and emotionally resonant landscapes.
