A rare opportunity to own the ORIGINAL Lunar Lion painting. This artwork has become available for purchase after being held in private collection for two years. The private art collector from Byron Bay, Australia needs to sell assets and unfortunately, even the much loved Lunar Lion original painting. I now have this artwork in my procession and can ensure the pristine condition after comprehensive inspection. This original has increased in value with a market value of $7,000 to $9,000 USD.

Artwork Description:

Lunar Lion is an original fine art painting by Ashvin Harrison — a celestial reflection on strength, stillness, and the harmony between instinct and awareness. In this striking portrait, Harrison merges meticulous charcoal realism with radiant abstraction to explore the quiet power that emerges when confidence meets calm.

The lion, drawn in lifelike charcoal precision, gazes ahead with an expression of deep composure and timeless wisdom. Upon his head rests a pair of golden headphones, each side depicting the textured surface of the moon — symbol of cycles, intuition, and the pull between light and shadow. The moon’s glow speaks to reflection, while the manmade headphones remind us of modernity’s search for meaning through noise. Between them lies balance — the power to hear the silence behind every sound.

From the lion’s mane erupts a constellation of colour: splashes of mint green, peach, ivory, and soft black swirl together in a luminous explosion. The expressive movement suggests both energy and serenity — as if the universe itself is in motion around him. Small lunar spheres orbit through the composition, echoing the pull of gravity and the rhythm of celestial order. A single emerald butterfly drifts near his face, symbolising transformation, fragility, and the delicate beauty of awareness.

Lunar Lion embodies Harrison’s evolving style of Motusrealism — the seamless fusion of hyperreal detail and expressive freedom. It is a meditation on courage without aggression, leadership without dominance, and the quiet authority of listening to one’s own frequency amidst the chaos of the cosmos.
