Sun & Moon – A Bespoke Abstract Diptych Commission for a Historic Home

One of my favorite aspects of creating bespoke artwork is the chance to design something that becomes an integral part of a client’s home. Recently, I was commissioned by a couple to create a very special pair of abstract paintings, designed for the heart of their home — a magnificent old fireplace framed by tall, sculptured ceilings and elegant wooden floors.

A Home of History and Modernity

Their home beautifully blends classical architectural details with modern design elements. The tall ceilings, detailed carvings, and warm wooden floors provided a stunning canvas for contemporary artwork to breathe new life into the room. The challenge was to create something that respected the heritage of the space, while infusing it with vibrant, modern energy.

The Concept: “Sun & Moon”

The commission resulted in a diptych titled “Sun & Moon”, a pair of tall, narrow paintings designed to hang on either side of the fireplace. Their placement created a natural dialogue across the chimney, with each canvas complementing the other while maintaining individuality. The title reflects not only the composition but also the symbolism:

• Sun and Moon as husband and wife
• Masculine and feminine energies
• Yin and yang in balance

The Artwork: Vibrance in Balance

The two paintings were designed to be intensely colorful yet harmonious, full of abstract movement, texture, and contrasts. We introduced touches of brightness, without straying into neon, to achieve a balance between bold expression and subtle sophistication. This allowed the works to feel both alive and timeless, a perfect reflection of the couple’s home.

Bespoke Art for Unique Spaces

What made this project so meaningful was the precision of the design: the pieces were tailored to fit the architectural proportions of the fireplace, creating a centerpiece for the entire living room. More than just decoration, they became part of the room’s identity, bridging past and present, tradition and modernity.

✨ Commissioning bespoke artwork allows you to bring your story, your home, and your energy into a timeless piece of art. If you are seeking a custom abstract painting for your home or interior project, I would be delighted to create something unique for you.
