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:

​Marc Chagall (1887-1985), the ceiling of the Paris Opera, 1964 

Charles de Lafosse (1636-1716), Sunrise Painting

Charles de Lafosse - The Chariot of Apollo ceiling painting

Also I love old maps:
