Every canvas begins as a silence, a still surface waiting to speak. In the painting, the circle becomes the language, a timeless form that holds within it the rhythm of our existence. For me, the circle represents the essence of life itself: continuous, eternal, unbroken. It is the geometry of our spirit, of who we are, of the journey we undertake to discover the real self.
Within this circle lies the weight of culture and tradition. We are born into stories, beliefs, and rituals that shape us. They become the first lines on our canvas, the foundation upon which identity begins to take form. These layers are precious , they anchor us, they connect us to our heritage, to those who came before us.
And yet, the circle is not static. As we move through it, we transform. We question, we doubt, we learn. It is within this motion that we slowly peel away the expectations of others, the boundaries set by culture or society, until we arrive at a deeper truth, the discovery of our essence.
The circle, then, is not a closed loop but a journey inward. It holds the paradox of being both universal and intimate: it belongs to all humanity, yet within it resides the secret of each individual.
When I paint this circle, I am not just creating a form. I am creating a mirror. A reminder that within us exists a continuity that binds spirit, belief, tradition, and transformation into one unified movement. It is a reminder that beauty is not only what surrounds us but also what we carry inside , the courage to become who we truly are.
This is the essence of my canvas: a circle that is not just a shape, but a life lived, a spirit awakened, and a truth discovered.
