'Circles in colours' series: A series of paintings that focuses on human completeness and integrity.

The series of ‘circles in colours’ was created in 2017/18 with the artistic intention of connecting people in a painted atmosphere that provides quality space to think and feel for the audience. It reflects on strong emotions such as feeling happy, sad, amused, isolated, breathless etc. that we all experience as human beings regardless gender, race or any other features that may diversify us in reality. The abstract concepts built on duality that derives from simplicity and symbols from the European history of art such as circle and square that as examples are the symbolic pair of masculinity and femininity. These also often used in Eastern culture such as mandalas to lead to human completeness. For this series, the linen canvas is primed by the artist to create the right surface for each painting and the main colours are hand mixed from own developed recipes. This gives them a special touch."
