COOL CIRCLES is an abstract geometric painting in which the canvas is dissected into vibrant fields of warm reds, yellows and oranges, creating a dynamic backdrop of heat and movement. Against this energetic ground, five cool‑toned circles—layered with shifting blues—descend through the composition like bubbles rising and falling within water. The linear framework travels uninterrupted across both the background and the circles, echoing the way light bends and continues through liquid, inviting viewers to trace the subtle continuity of each line as it moves across the surface.

This work explores the gentle drift of bubbles through water, offering moments of calm within an otherwise chaotic environment. The cool circles become meditative pauses amid the intensity of the warm palette, suggesting pockets of serenity held within turbulence. Through this interplay of colour, geometry and visual rhythm, the painting reflects on the search for stillness and clarity within the noise of contemporary life.
