About the Item

shipped in roll Dancing on the Moon is an ironic meditation on self-acceptance and acceptance of the world. Although the heroine appears to be flying, her wings are unable to lift her; they are more symbolic than functional. Despite this, she dances. Her movement transforms ""insufficiency"" into a language of presence. She doesn't escape reality; she becomes an integral part of it, merging with the nighttime landscape and moonlight. In this realm, the moon represents sleep and quiet courage—a place where we don't overcome gravity, but rather learn to live beautifully within it. The flight is internal, not vertical; acceptance, not wings, lifts us up. The painting continues the themes of transformation, vulnerability, and resilience through mythical motifs and the idea of nature as an active force. In this world, the boundary between dream and reality becomes a stage for dance.

Dance, Original Painting
By Diana Elena Chelaru
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
"This painting is another composition that depicts a group of figures with graceful and fluid movements," says artist Nancy Hughes Miller. They sway their hips in unison with bare feet in light tiptoes. Their dresses glow with intricate floral adornments.


About the Artist
Romanian-born painter Diana Chelaru’s paintings are colorful and contemporary interpretations of human emotion. For Diana, art is a means of communication. “It is how I express my thoughts, hopes, regrets and joys,” she says. Though she gets great pleasure from applying paint to canvas, it is the expression of emotions that she finds to be most important. Diana’s style is influenced by Byzantine mosaics as well as Gustav Klimt’s subject matter and use of decorative patterns within his compositions. Each artwork is created intuitively, resulting in paintings that speak to the soul.
