What is Chucentric Art?

Every piece created in the style of concentric circles begins with visualization, sparked by chance, prophecy, or words whispered by the universe. Many times my mind unconsciously creates titles or narratives, and I respond by building a visual form to embody that spirit. Most of my creations feel like gifts from the universe, and I am simply the vessel that manifests them.

I often sketch out the concept first on paper using graphite, watercolor, acrylics, or a mix of materials. Other times, I bypass the sketch entirely and explore my chosen medium directly on the canvas.

When I paint, I often slip into what I call “the zone” - a place of heightened awareness where I become detached from myself, but remain connected to a greater consciousness. In this state, the work seems to paint itself with boldness and intention. Guidance comes as if from a guru in my mind, directing and urging me forward with certainty. This process represents the cerebral part of my work - the fusion of the collective mind and spark of creativity.

A famous artist once said, “knowing when to stop is an art in itself.” For me, that moment arrives when my inner voice declares the work complete. I step away from the piece to break my attachment. Later, I analyze it as “the second artist” and “first critic,” seeing with fresh eyes to refine what calls for adjustment.

I strive for excellence, not perfection. I know a piece is finished when that excellence begins to shine through. This process concludes the first step of creating a concentric work.

The second step is different, but equally as important. It explores the mechanics of craftsmanship and the discipline of the mechanical mind. Using the completed painting as a foundation, the concentric narrative begins to emerge, its layers of texture guided by the energy beneath. Through color-mixing and matching, the essence of the narrative below is translated into a new form. Nothing is lost in translation—neither nuance nor verve.
