This 16"x20" Oils, Acrylics on Canvas painting by Stephen Stocklin features a minimalist composition of overlapping circular forms clustered at center on a pale, nearly white field with subtle washes of cream, gray, and soft blue. Six circles in charcoal black, burnt orange, golden yellow, white, deep navy, and teal-blue arrange themselves in a loose constellation, their edges touching and overlapping to create a sense of gentle interaction. Small dots and delicate spatter marks add texture and movement to the otherwise quiet surface. The simplicity and restraint create a meditative quality.
The painting evokes the elements of a complete life—different aspects of self and experience gathered together in essential form, each distinct yet connected, none dominating the others. The limited palette and simple geometry suggest that wholeness doesn't require complexity, just the right elements in balance, reminding us that meaning often comes not from accumulation but from the careful arrangement of a few fundamental truths held in close proximity.
