The Studio
About
Moonlight and Sol Studio is a British art gallery founded by artist Michaela Gieston. All work presented has been made by Michaela. All pieces are sold as originals only; we do not produce any prints to ensure that each artwork is owed by one customer only.
The Collections
Each collection of artwork is unique for its size and media utilisation but all are united by the same agenda - to elevate spaces, make them unique and simply like no other. Furthermore, paintings are an amazing discussion starter. Fine art also allows us to slow down and to be present at a given moment. Please email us to reserve the piece - hello@moonlightandsolstudio.co.uk
The Miniature Series
The Miniature Series collection presents our smallest available original paintings. The vibrant abstract pieces are full of colour and elevate any space. Each piece is presented in a square white frame ready to be hung. Framed size: 18×18cm
Oil Paintings
Oil Paintings collection includes floral abstractions painted on canvases. The pieces are painted with premium non-toxic paints on canvas and are executed in a distinctive palette of colours. Oil Paintings collection makes any room stand out in a luxurious and breath taking way. All oil paintings are framed before shipping.
Petal
Petal collection presents mixed media on wooden floral shaped boards. Petal collection presents a sense of quirkiness blended with abundance. The paintings are hung on a rope hanger attached to the board. Petal collection is an exquisitely exciting addition to the Moonlight and Sol Studio collections.
Handmade Jewellery
Handmade Jewellery is a carefully designed and selected collection of hand-crafted pieces. All pieces consist of sterling silver and high quality glass beads. All pieces are made to order.
All paintings include a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
“Every piece begins with a feeling — a quality of light, a texture remembered, a colour that won't leave you alone.”
Process
Observation
Every work begins with extended planning — sketches, studies, and time spent with the subject before paint is mixed.
Material
Collections include mixed media on canvas or wood board and non toxic oil on canvas. Pigments chosen for permanence and depth. No shortcuts in the ground or the medium.
Making
Paintings are worked across multiple sessions. Layers dry fully before the next is applied. Works take anything between weeks to months to be completed.
Framing & Capture
Once fully dried, all canvas paintings get framed and finally taken to the photo studio to be captured and posted. We also capture raw canvases to showcase full detail as framed paintings are behind the protective glass. We do not frame works on wooden surface due to their weight and shape.
