About:
The soul that still glows beneath the surface.
Blue Obsidian is a portrait of the search for the soul-self a testament to the resilience of the inner spirit. This piece captures the ache of longing for a version of oneself that feels lost.
The figure is marked by the geography of survival: skin carrying the calluses of endurance, hair turned white from shock, and a face of healing bruises. She is not broken, but she is beautifully, honestly marked. This painting is a spell for the silence that follows pain and a celebration of the magic that remains despite it. It honors the soul that survived and is simply waiting to be seen.
-
The Feel: Luminous, haunting, and deeply restorative.
-
The Impact: A visceral, grounding piece that serves as a reminder of your own "inner glow" and the strength found in your survival.
Shipping & Care | Original Works
Because Blue Obsidian is a layered, textured original, it requires a little extra tenderness to ensure its medicine remains intact.
-
The Journey: Your painting will be carefully wrapped in acid-free glassine paper to protect the surface, then nestled in a custom-fitted, moisture-resistant box.
-
Shipping: All originals are shipped from London via a tracked and insured premium service. You will receive your tracking number as soon as the "Blue Obsidian" begins its journey to you.
-
Timing: Please allow 5–7 business days for me to personally prepare, pack, and bless the piece for transit.
Long-term Care
-
Placement: To preserve the vibrant "Blue Obsidian" hues, please hang your painting away from direct, harsh sunlight. While I use high-quality pigments, the sun is a powerful force that can fade even the strongest spirits over time.
-
Cleaning: If the surface gathers dust, a light touch with a clean, dry microfiber cloth or a soft-bristled brush is all it needs. Please avoid water, cleaning chemicals, or damp cloths, as these can disturb the "calcified" textures of the paint.
-
Framing: This piece is sold unframed, allowing you to choose a "mask" for it that suits your own sanctuary.
