45.0 x 35.0 cm

Title: The Melting Silence Artist: Laura Bernardeschi Nelson Medium: Oil pastels on paper, varnished Dimensions: 45 x 35 cm Framed: Yes Description: In The Melting Silence, Laura Bernardeschi Nelson portrays a fragile world at the edge of disappearance. Towering glaciers dissolve into a tranquil sea, their brilliant blues fading into the cold embrace of inevitability. Against a violet and gold sky, birds soar above the fading ice — witnesses to an ending, carriers of memory. This haunting landscape captures the quiet tragedy of melting glaciers — once eternal, now ephemeral. The sun burns softly behind distant peaks, illuminating the last breath of frozen majesty before it yields to rising waters. Each pastel stroke, softened by varnish, holds both serenity and sorrow, echoing the delicate balance between beauty and loss. The Melting Silence is not merely a landscape; it is a lament for a planet in flux. It reminds us that what we admire from afar today may soon exist only in art, memory, and warning.
