Description
Description
There is a particular kind of confidence in a painting that uses only black and white. No colour to lean on. No palette to hide behind. Just mark, gesture, and intention. The AURO Lilyene is that painting.
Lilyene is a 100% handmade oil painting on canvas — worked in bold, gestural brushstrokes across a near-monochrome palette of deep black and warm off-white. The marks are expressive and deliberate: sweeping arcs, layered strokes, areas of density and areas of breath. The surface has texture — oil paint applied with confidence, not caution. No two pieces are identical. The canvas is stretched on a solid timber frame to a depth of 4cm and can be hung directly as a canvas or placed into a frame of your choosing.
At 50×70cm, Lilyene is a statement piece. It works above a sofa, in a hallway, beside a bed, or as the sole object on a large wall. The black and white palette means it sits naturally in Nordic, Japandi, and contemporary interiors alike — it does not compete with the room, it anchors it.
This is a painting that looks like it was acquired, not ordered. That is the point.

Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance
- Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth or a clean feather duster. Do not use wet cloths, solvents, or cleaning sprays directly on the canvas surface.
- Avoid hanging in rooms with sustained high humidity — bathrooms, kitchens with heavy steam, or conservatories with condensation. Oil on canvas is sensitive to prolonged moisture exposure.
- Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods. UV exposure over time can cause the oil paint to yellow or fade.
- Do not lean objects against the canvas surface or apply pressure to the painted area — the raised texture of the oil paint can be damaged by impact or sustained contact.
- If the painting arrives with a faint oil paint smell, allow it to air in a well-ventilated room for 24–48 hours. This is normal for handmade oil paintings and will dissipate completely.
Product Specific FAQs
Product Specific FAQs
- Q: Is this a real painting or a print? A: It is a real, 100% handmade oil painting. Each piece is painted individually by hand in oil paint on canvas — not printed, not reproduced digitally. The surface has genuine texture from the paint application. No two pieces are identical.
- Q: Does it come with a frame? A: No — a frame is not included. The canvas can be hung directly on the wall as-is for a clean, gallery-style finish, or you can add a frame of your own choosing for a more formal look. The canvas depth is 4cm, which fits most standard deep-set frames.
- Q: It smells of paint when it arrives — is that normal? A: Yes, completely normal. Handmade oil paintings can carry a faint solvent or paint smell when first unpacked, particularly if they have been in transit packaging. Place it in a well-ventilated room for 24–48 hours and the smell will dissipate fully.
- Q: Will the colours look exactly like the product photos? A: The palette is deep black and warm off-white — there is very little colour variation to worry about. Screen calibration can affect how the contrast reads, but the actual painting will be consistent with what is shown. Because each piece is handmade, the exact placement of brushstrokes will differ slightly from the images — this is a feature, not a flaw.
- Q: Can I hang it in a bathroom or kitchen? A: We recommend against it. Oil on canvas is sensitive to sustained humidity and steam. The painting is best suited to living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways, and offices — rooms with stable temperature and low humidity.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Delivery typically takes 6 to 14 business days, inclusive of the processing time - depending on your location. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships. We deliver to the UK, US, and Australia.

What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day return window from the date you receive your order. If your item arrives damaged or isn't what you expected, contact us at hello@byauro.com and we'll sort it. Items must be unused and in original packaging. Full details are on our Returns page.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Email us at hello@byauro.com with a photo of the damage within the 30-day return window. We'll send a replacement free of charge — no hassle, no back and forth.
How do I know what size to choose?
Every product page lists exact dimensions for each option. For wall art, your piece should fill roughly two-thirds of the wall space above your furniture — measure the width and multiply by 0.6 to 0.75. Hang it with the centre at eye level, around 150cm from the floor.
For lighting, a simple rule used by top designers: add your room's length and width in metres, multiply by 2.5, and that gives you the ideal fixture width in centimetres.
Pendants over a dining table should hang 75-90cm above the table surface.
If you're still unsure, email us at hello@byauro.com with your room dimensions and we'll recommend the right size.
Will the colours match what I see on screen?
We do our best to ensure accurate colour representation, but slight variations can occur due to screen settings and lighting conditions. Our products are produced to match the listing images as closely as possible.
