Circlism Slideshow

Unveiling of my 20th painting the Baptism of Jesus!




In the synoptic gospels, Jesus is baptised by John the Baptist. In these accounts, John preaches repentance before the coming judgment, baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and the imminent arrival of one far greater than he. Jesus comes to the Jordan River and is baptised there by John. After the baptism, the heavens open, the holy spirit like a dove descends, and a heavenly voice acclaims Jesus is his Son. Jesus then goes into the wilderness where the devil tempts him, and when he returns he begins his ministry.

This is a video combining the Questor with One Republic's: Stop @ Stare!

Galaxy 2 is a synthesis of many celestial bodies revealing the beauty of our universe. In January 2002, a faint star on the outer edges of the Milky Way flared to 600,000 times the luminosity of the Sun. By April the flare had subsided but its echoes were still reaching Earth years later. This remarkable time lapse bloom is conjured from light bounced back from ever wider shells of debris ejected by V838 Monocerotis during a previous outburst. In the painting this would be the center.
On the left side of the painting is an Eagle Nebula- hewn from a dense cloud of hydrogen by a torrent of plasma, this iconic stagalamite is replete with compact pockets of gas dubbed Evaporating Gas Globules or EGGs. Within many EGGs, protostars are quickening in a race against time as their sustaining gas yolk is boiled away by photoevaporation.
On the bottom right is the Sun with the energy of up to a billion megatons of TNT, solar flares can hurl clouds of plasma into space a velocities approaching the speed of light and cover a region the size of many Earths. This eruption measured over 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles) in height. Solar flares are believed to result from the violent release of the magnetic energy from the area surrounding sunspots.
On the right side of the painting is Pleiades- the ancient Greeks recognized Pleiades, as the children of Atlas. Their blue veil is a passing dust cloud!

A tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. as the Stair Steps declare it will get better:

This is a new video I just posted regarding the Circlism Paintings!

I created this design a while back when I was in my Masters. I thought it would be an interesting concept as I do name it Visual Vortex!

This is one of my smaller paintings that would be entitled: Secrets ! It is based off of an ad I saw in the newspaper!

Warrior Princess
She is a woman of her own will. She will not sit around to be rescued. She gathers her men for an all out battle to the end! It is a struggle to regain the kingdom for her father. she, with her army, has caused chaos and anarchy, but once they have taken out the enemy she will re-establish the power of her father's kingdom where she will promise to rule in a benevolent fashion.

Patricia, I'll Remember You
There are no better words than in Mr. Decker's lyrics written in tribute to you a teacher, a mentor, a daughter, a sister, a mother, and a friend. "I recall the sun shining in a room, with children learning all the while. I remember laughter, a life in a bloom, I remember your smile. I thought I saw a flash. I know I heard a voice, and many people were transformed. I saw you make a difference, you touched so many lives, from you many new days were born. If there's a footprint, in everything we do, it's seen in how we change the lives, of everyone we knew. It's locked in hearts and memories, and treasured like a jewel...I'll remember you!" -words by Marc David Decker 2006-

The unveiling of Patricia, I'll Remember You

This is based off of Mr. Decker's song. I tried to include all the things that she would include in her curriculum in order for a kid to express him or herself. I hope I did her justice because this was truly a labor of love.

Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: Watson and Crick put forward a radically different structure for the salt of deoxyribose nucleic acid. One remarkable thing about the DNA molecule is that it can build an exact copy of iteself. A standard biology textbook states: "The process of duplicating itself is known as replication. During replication, enzymes break the weak hydrogen bonds, the bases of the nucleotides. DNA separates into two halves, and this separation exposes the nucleotide bases to its complementary base- Adenine to Thymine, Guanine to Cytosine." This painting celebrates the marvel discovery of these two scientists, and depicts the beauty of their discovery.

Thank you for taking time to understand Circlism. Each painting has its own unique reality. The viewer may perceive something all together different. This is the nature of any work, a million variations with a million unique responses. I hope you can see and appreciate each piece as a journey into millions of possibilities!!! If you want to reach me in order to purchase a panel, a t-shirt, a mug or to just discuss the implications of any of my paintings you can email me at: ecs25858@yahoo.com . You can also write to me at Circlism.com P.O. Box 2844 Van Nuys, CA. 91404.

Dare we Ask?: The viewer faces the captivating beauty. The rollings hills, the crystal blue waters, the enchanted forest, the palatial castle, and the spacious greenhouse creates a peaceful serenity. The "No Trespassing" sign enforces a sense of security. An open gate? is something in the water? Is there someone hiding? Invisible to the eye danger is all around, but can we see it? An underlying false sense of security is pervasive throughout the painting. Even though the viewer can only be enamored by the surroundings!

Justice for All: Equality for all people is a universal battle that engages all of us. The fight for justice is rooted in a human struggle towards this basic human right.

If you ever get a chance to view this painting I tried to depict all the early black leaders, and the leader who declared the Emancipation Proclamation. The struggle for freedom continues today throughout the world with all people!!! A chance for being treated with decency and fairness!!!

Fire Department New York Tribute: The destruction of the twin towers turned a page in history. The courage and strength of our firefighters brought a new meaning to the concept of hero. This painting was lucky enough to be displayed at the Museum of Burbank Firefighters and Police for about six months in 2003. I want to thank Firechief Pansini.

I was able to visit New York in 2006, and one of the firefighters placed a copy of this painting on the outside window of the Firestation that is directly across from the Twin tower site!!! So if you are ever in New York let me know if you saw it.
