The Stillness Between Us

In the hush of connection, colour holds the silence.

Like a fairytale or dream rendered in luminous colour, The Stillness Between Us captures the quiet, unspoken bond between a small girl and a swan.

Set against a backdrop of a vivid rainbow of blues and turquoises, with bursts of magenta butterflies and warm apricot-toned blooms, this textured piece invites the viewer into a dreamlike space—where innocence, trust, and nature entwine.

Painted in Luna Burlo’s signature abstract realism style, this work balances bold colour with emotional subtlety, and is not for the faint of heart! The swan, a symbol of grace and transformation, becomes both guardian and mirror to the child, reflecting themes of self-connection and trust. The piece invites the viewer to write a fairytale of their own choosing.

Painting is signed on the front and will come with a certificate of authenticity from artist Luna Burlo.
