Oroborous 2017 Acrylic on velvet over canvas 91x91x4cm

This work is sold but please get in touch to commission similar.

 

The Oroborous 2017 painting measures 91x91x4cm.

 

An impasto central circle with a ring of white and shimmering silver surround and a graphite grey border which also has metallic silver accents that reflect and shimmer.  

The painting has a circular motif, representing the ancient symbol of the Ouroboros, a serpent or dragon eating its own tail, symbolizing self-reflexivity, cyclicality, and infinity. The intricate layering of colors and textures creates an effect that draws the viewer in and invites contemplation.

 

Oroborous (there are many similar/diferent spellings) is, very simply,  the ancient symbol of eternity as a snake eating it's own tail.
