A technique that utilizes circles as a method of applying paint or any medium that one uses. The circles bring out the subject or it can also camouflage the subject. It depends on the viewer's point of view. See www.circlism.com Painting in the method of Circlism which was first discovered by me in 1985. It was used in 1996 in sketches that I made and finally in 2000 was used with oils on masonite.

Commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the origin and the invention of Circlism!

 











of  Circlism!


The 30th Anniversary of the origin and invention of Circlism by Artist: Edward C. Stresino



                     Circlism in its infant stages was an idea that originated from a film during a Biology high-school class involving the process of cell division introducing the topic of mitosis and meiosis.  Mitosis is the process of cell division where the chromosomes in the nucleus of the parent cell duplicate and divide in two identical sets.  This in itself was an inspiration alone to start drawing circles and dividing them.  

                        
Meiosis


Mitosis & Meiosis

     Fast Forward thirty years later:  50 works and Thirty of the works are large 4 feet by 4 feet Masonite boards with what is a dazzling array of oil paintings that touch the human experience with portrayals of fantasy,  reality, and life changing moments.  The works are portrayals of history, space, biology, nature, spiritual and even the inner reaches of my own imagination!

Encouraged by the love and devotion of his 


father  


Edward C. Stresino  


pursued his interest in art to develop Circlism.  


He 


discovered this technique integrating his 


fascination of science 


and 


art.  I love all the subjects on his art because they 


depict 


universal 


concepts of nature and philosophical themes of 


ontology. His use 


of bold colors bring his creations to life and 


evokes powerful 


emotions.
