Bruised Moons

Custom-made aquarelles that celebrate healing, self love and vulnerability


β€œWorking on my bruises became therapeutic. Painting my physical bruises helped me to heal my spiritual ones.
Letting go of judgement, negative self-talk and facing my own shadow sides.”

β€” Danique for Conscious Bali


Bruised Moons

We were never taught to embrace our bruises. Or to see them for what they truly are: traces of physical trauma. This ongoing series of hand-painted and one-of-a-kind aquarelles, Bruised Moons, documents the evolution of the bruises on our body.

By taking a closer look, one can notice that these skin-deep imperfections hold a galaxy of colours. A galaxy that continues to morph into the most cosmic shapes and colours until our skin has fully healed itself.

Bruises tell us something important: they show us how fragile the human body actually is. They show us that we can heal from trauma. And how beautiful that process can be. So why hide them?

Please note: As an artist, my intention is not to condone nor glorify violence, abuse or aggression in any way, shape or form. I strongly reject any expressions of violence. The bruises that I paint are always a result of and inspired by my own clumsiness.

Moon Phases

Moon Phases is an exclusive series of hand-painted aquarelles. Each aquarelle is personalized and enriched with gold leaf. The series highlights the many magical phases of the moon and the impact that these can make on our emotional state.

A Moon Phase makes for the perfect gift. Each painting is made upon request and uniquely for you, based on the date of your choice. Whether it’s the birthday of a special someone, the day that your little one was born, or the day you found your true love: the moon’s position at that moment will be the inspiration for your painting. You can be sure that I’ll carefully create an art piece that you’ll love, to the moon and back.
