The artwork, sold unframed, is an abstract painting executed in watercolor and pastels on two sheets of 100% cotton Fabriano paper. The chosen motif of this artwork is a captivating and abstract interpretation of the traditional theme of the adoration of the Three Magi. At first glance, the melding of organic forms and the harmonious color palette draw the viewer into a contemplative space, urging them to seek deeper meanings. On the left side, the swirling patterns offer intricate interlocking shapes that are open to interpretation. Within these forms, one might discern the figures of the Three Magi, their postures, and gestures hinting at reverence and wonder. These swirling forms can be seen as a visual representation of the Magi's journey – both physical and spiritual – as they seek out the divine. The fluidity of the shapes suggests movement, transition, and the unpredictable nature of life and faith. In contrast, the right side of the painting provides stability with its cascading arches. They could be symbolic of the many challenges and hurdles that the Magi faced on their journey, each arch representing an obstacle overcome or a lesson learned. The division between the two sheets of paper serves as a poignant reminder of the dichotomies inherent in the story of the Magi: the juxtaposition between faith and doubt, the earthly and the divine, journey and destination. The very act of seeking out the divine, represented by the left panel, is complemented by the blessings and grace of the divine, showcased in the right. The artist's decision to abstractly represent the adoration of the Three Magi allows viewers to engage with the artwork on a personal level. Instead of a prescriptive narrative, the viewers are provided with a canvas for introspection, allowing them to superimpose their experiences, beliefs, and interpretations onto the artwork. This abstraction serves to bridge the gap between historical religious narratives and contemporary thought.

Luna Ljus, a multidisciplinary artist originating from Brazil, presents a diverse portfolio centered around the motif of metamorphosis. Her creations resonate with profound shifts—be they physical, emotional, or historical. Drawing from a rich tapestry of inspirations, including mythology, sci-fi, and the annals of art history. Ljus's invites audiences to a realm where the present moment is momentarily set aside, allowing for a cathartic journey through emotion, only to circle back with a rejuvenated perspective. Employing a blend of the abstract and the literal, she reimagines literary, fictional, and historical themes, often through a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues. At the heart of her repertoire is the notion of transformation. Each piece, echoing life's cyclical dance of birth, decay, and rebirth, beckons onlookers to ponder the depths of change. Her visual lexicon unfolds with a mix of geometric musings and organic shapes, painting dreams and hinting at alternate dimensions. There's a deliberate interplay of color and form—a testament to her infatuation with their symbiotic relationship. Ljus's canvases pulsate with energy, largely credited to her choice of spirited, juxtaposed colors. The echoes of Fauvism, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism, particularly the traces of Orphism and color field techniques, are undeniable in her work. Moreover, the recurring patterns and symbols in her pieces are deliberate nods to mythology, science fiction, and the annals of art history. Ljus's meticulous method involves a profound exploration of narrative through the prism of elementary forms and vivid colors, often blurring the lines between the abstract and the definitive. Her penchant for the tactile essence of paper and water-soluble pigments pushes her to constantly experiment with varied mediums, crafting semi-abstract artworks. Each creation undergoes an intriguing evolution. Beginning with a detailed watercolor foundation, the piece is subject to alterations in color fields and strokes over days or even weeks, reflecting the evolving thoughts and sentiments that sparked its inception. This fluid process sometimes yields unforeseen motifs, adding serendipitous layers to her work. Ljus's oeuvre is thoughtfully segmented into series: "Renewals" delves into the nuances of change. "Strange Worlds" is a poetic contemplation of alternate realities and entities.
