斯哲·丹尼杜回歸早期奔馳於想像領域的主題，又果敢結合了近年所著迷的超級寫實主義，兩個世界乍看截然不同，卻又不無關係。畫家重新演繹惠斯勒（Whistler）的代表作《灰與黑的交響曲 第1號》（其母親畫像），將之放在當代背景，又加入了一個蒙面藝術家。

此雙聯幅中佳人各處一方，只好遙相思念。男子陷在孤寂的茫茫深海，女子則要靠牆上畫像的慰藉才終於睡下。距離使他們失去平衡，男子傾斜著身子，女子也在擺椅上搖晃不定。

題目《月光》取自德布西（Debussy）的同名組曲（有說惠斯勒之畫作靈感也來自於此），唯美旋律為此畫和聲，流動著幾分溫柔的安慰。女子手握絲帶，是剛拆開他的禮物嗎？而他亦與牆上畫像呼應相連。夢境與現實兩個對立的世界在丹尼杜筆下成為一個和諧的整體。雖然肉體暫時被分離，但他們的精神卻因此而緊緊系在一起。

此作不僅顯示出丹尼杜對印象派與表現派的肯定，更是他回歸敘事之作。《月光》中飽含符號與動態，厚重的油彩一層層的加之畫面，畫筆直接造形，並無勾勒線條。畫家視每一層油彩為完整獨立的畫作，顏料乾後必將其刮平上光，如是反复操作。丹尼杜認為顏料越厚，它便會隨著日子而越發明亮，如陳釀般，濃厚圓潤、回味悠長。
