Inner circle

"Inner Circle" reflects the strength and intimacy of genuine connections. At the centre of the composition, a bold black circle anchors the work-symbolising boundaries, protection, and the chosen space where only trust and authenticity are allowed to reside. The contrasting geometric forms in deep earthy red and bright white create a dialogue between openness and selectivity, evoking the delicate balance of allowing some in while keeping others at a necessary distance.

The muted, textured background suggests the wider world, ever-present yet secondary, while the inner forms stand firm, deliberate, and intentional. This artwork is a visual meditation on belonging, reminding us that closeness should never be accidental, but a conscious act of trust and care.

"Inner Circle" is both protective and empowering-a reminder that not everyone belongs in your space, only those who truly matter.

This piece is created on a fine linen canvas, a material long regarded for its durability and refined surface. The use of acrylic, oil, and oil pastel in layered harmony brings depth, texture, and permanence — ensuring every work carries both aesthetic richness and enduring quality.
