WHY CIRCLES

WHY CIRCLE?
I used tondo canvases.
Circle is a very ancient and universal symbol that can have different meanings depending on the context and culture:
  • The cyclical nature of the universe and life, such as the seasons, the day and night, the birth and death, etc.
  • The protection, inclusion, and wholeness of the self and the divine, as the circle has no gaps or edges, and encompasses everything within it.
  • The focus and transformation of energy or matter, as the circle is a shape that can concentrate or radiate force in all directions.
  • The eternity, infinity, and perfection of the circle, as it has no beginning and no end, and is symmetrical and balanced.

MY INSPIRATION:
