Oranges Stories, Series One

by Aurailieus

Oranges Stories, Series One is a collection of five original works exploring desire, obsession, vulnerability, intimacy, and self-destruction through layered portraiture and raw handwritten confession. Each painting exists somewhere between love letter, journal entry, and emotional graffiti — combining delicate figurative drawing with aggressive spray-painted text that refuses to stay quiet.

Throughout the series, oranges become recurring symbols of temptation, pleasure, memory, and emotional consumption. The works move between longing and recklessness, tenderness and chaos, capturing the internal narratives people often hide behind attraction, lust, and connection.

Influenced by both fine art portraiture and urban expressionism, the series blends vulnerability with confrontation — inviting viewers into moments that feel deeply personal while remaining universally recognizable.

This complete five-piece collection is being offered as a single body of work for $10,000. Acquiring the full series preserves the narrative as intended: five interconnected emotional fragments speaking to one another across a shared visual language.
