Description
Sun and Moon – two materials, one body
On a sky-blue plaster ground floats one single large, shield-like organic form, slightly tilted and divided into two materials: the left half is cream white, thickly smoothed with the knife – the moon – the right copper-gold, crusted and glinting – the sun.
Technique & Texture
The blue ground has a fine plaster grain and darkens gently toward the corners, while the form is physically laid onto it. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – the cream and the golden half are two real, different materials, not two colours.
The Motif
The halves do not merge: at the lower centre a narrow notch divides them, through which the blue of the ground shines – a thin night between sun and moon. It is precisely this slit that gives the form its tension and the title its meaning: two celestial bodies sharing one body.
Styling & Placement
Symbolic wall art for bedrooms, living rooms and meditative corners; the blue calms, the gold warms, and the cream half ties the painting to light walls.
- Technique: hand-painted painting on canvas, palette knife, leaf gold

Let the sun and moon shine on your wall – choose a size.
Sun and Moon: an upright canvas for narrow walls
Sun and Moon comes in 13 upright sizes, from 40 x 60 to 180 x 225 cm. On a narrow wall between two windows the cream-and-gold form works at 60 x 90 or 70 x 88 cm, while over a 120 cm console, 80 x 120 cm covers about two thirds of its width. Beside a bedside cabinet 50 x 63 cm is enough, and a tall stairwell wall takes 110 x 150 or 130 x 165 cm.
The first photograph shows Sun and Moon in a white frame above a wooden stool and a blue one, and the second photograph shows the same canvas over a burl-wood cabinet next to a bed. No frame comes with Sun and Moon, as the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Choose YES under Stretcher and the sky-blue ground arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The gold half of this painting is hand-painted with a knife and leaf gold, so Sun and Moon is not a print.
Sun and Moon: common questions
Which size of Sun and Moon fits above a 120 cm console?
Two thirds of 120 cm is 80 cm of width, so choose 80 x 120 cm; the cream and gold halves then balance the console.
Does Sun and Moon arrive ready to hang?
Yes, choose YES under Stretcher and the blue plaster ground with its shield form comes stretched on wood.
Is a frame included with Sun and Moon?
No, a frame for Sun and Moon is chosen separately in the Frame menu, and without that choice it arrives unframed.
Is the gold half of Sun and Moon printed?
No, the copper gold and the cream layer are laid on by hand with a palette knife, so this painting is not a print.
