About this work

This painting is a grid of perfect circles in three shades: black, dark blue, and a pale grayish-blue. The circles are arranged in a repeating pattern, with the lightest ones forming a subtle diagonal line toward the center. The background is a dull beige, making the colors pop. The circles look like they’re floating because of the sharp edges and even spacing. The paint has a smooth, almost plastic finish—it’s not brushy or textured. If you like this kind of clean, geometric art, check out Victor Vasarely.
