C.O.C 2023 (Center of the Circle )

This variation of C.O.C 2023 draws inspiration from the symbolism of vortex representing the convergence and mutation of opposing energies: yin and yang. This painting features a solid, hand-painted circular form made exclusively with black and white oil paint, emphasizing the duality and interdependence within all forms of existence. It is a moon-like metaphysical body, capturing the moment when energy condenses into form—not through balance, but through metamorphic force. In this version, the outer rim of the central sphere is accented with a delicate blend of gold leaf and yellow pigment, visualizing the subtle vibration of our physical presence—the flickering edge between material reality and unseen dimensions. This glowing halo acts as a symbolic membrane where the invisible begins to manifest. At the heart of the circle, a charcoal-drawn ring on paper is embedded within the canvas, layered with natural sand, grounding the composition in organic textures and earthly matter. The contrast between smooth oil, fibrous paper, and granular sand evokes the way energy ripples, resonates, and crystallizes into substance over time. This piece captures a quiet metamorphosis—the emergence of life and matter from opposing forces. It is not just a visual form but a metaphor for the hidden, swirling processes that give rise to being, thought, and transformation.
