Yulianto. Measuring 100x100 cm, it’s painted in oil on canvas.

The composition centers around a stylized, feminine figure rendered in flowing, curvilinear shapes. The palette is warm and emotional—fiery reds, glowing oranges, and deep yellows mingle with cooler tones like purples and blues, creating a sense of dynamic movement. The figure appears introspective, her posture and gaze suggesting a moment of spiritual or emotional reflection. The presence of a glowing moon in the upper right corner reinforces the title, casting a sense of solitude, serenity, and sacredness over the scene.

The swirling, energetic brushwork and blending of vibrant colors give the piece a dreamlike quality, almost as if the subject is caught between the physical and spiritual realms. It evokes emotion rather than narrative, drawing viewers into a contemplative, almost meditative space. See less
