About the artwork

1. Composition and Shape
The image shows a circular object, possibly a decorative disc, plate, or artwork, placed on a neutral, beige background. The composition is symmetrical and revolves around concentric circles running from the centre to the outer edges. These circles create a hypnotic, spiral-like effect, giving a sense of movement and depth. The central circle is white, surrounded by a black ring, and beyond it follow layers of gold and brown tones with black lines that appear like stripes or brushstrokes. The symmetry and repetition of the circles suggest a minimalist and structured design, but the organic, hand-painted lines add a playful and human touch.
The circle shape itself has a classic, timeless quality, often associated with unity, infinity, and balance in art and design. The image appears to be flat, but the layered circles and subtle shadows suggest a three-dimensional effect, possibly through the use of light reflections or a metallic finish.
2. Colours and palette
The colour palette is sophisticated and understated, with a combination of:
White: The central section is bright white, exuding a sense of simplicity and purity.

Black: The black rings and stripes provide a powerful contrast, making the composition sharp and dynamic. Black also gives a modern, elegant look.

Gold and Brown tones: These warm, metallic tones dominate the outer rings and create a luxurious, rich impression. The gold potentially reflects light, adding a sense of depth and sophistication.

Beige Background: The neutral background enhances the focus on the central object and creates a calm, harmonious balance.

The palette is minimalist but luxurious, with a mix of cool (white, black) and warm (gold, brown) colours, creating a modern and timeless aesthetic.
