The celestial kiss, at talisman scale. This medium edition carries the same intention as its large sibling: to depict the auric field, the unseen spiritual energy that surrounds all living things, your aura an extension of you, and to stage it as a meeting of two celestial bodies. The sun's warmth and the moon's cool lean into one another until their fields touch, the luminous point where they meet the kiss itself, light shared between two orbiting presences. The canvas holds the encounter in the series' signature palette: a soft, dusty blue backdrop transitioning into pinks and oranges before returning to blue, the two temperatures passing through each other around a luminous white circle at the centre, hand-embellished with diamond dust so it glitters like compacted starlight. At 70 x 70 cm the work changes register rather than shrinking. Where the large edition reads as a celestial event, a horizon of colour, the medium reads as a talisman, something close-held, restorative, sized for the wall beside a bed or a desk where its quiet glow is met daily. As part of the Auric Field family, it sits alongside Aqua Mint's letting-go and Truthwave's speaking-of-truth: this is the frequency of love, kept. Ink with hand-embellished diamond dust on fine canvas, in a white box tray frame. 70 x 70 cm unframed; 73.5 x 73.5 x 4 cm framed. Signed and numbered from an edition of 10. Unframed £2,950.
