Biosphere (2022) is a large-scale meditation on enclosed systems — physical, emotional, and planetary. Part of the Geometric Splendor Collection, this 90 x 90 inch acrylic painting reflects on the idea of containment: how we live, breathe, and evolve inside interdependent spaces.

The composition is dominated by circular and polygonal forms, nested and layered. The palette is earthy with futuristic undertones — sand, teal, steel blue, and moss green — evoking both organic growth and technological structure. The geometry pulses inward and outward, like breath or an expanding lung.

The concept was inspired by real-world biospheres — controlled environments designed to simulate Earth’s ecosystems. But it quickly became more metaphorical. In this painting, the biosphere becomes a symbol: for intimacy, for isolation, for coexistence within fragile boundaries.

This work shares conceptual space with Olafur Eliasson, especially his experiments with geometry, perception, and ecology. Like Eliasson, I am interested in how abstract form can point to real, urgent questions about interconnection and sustainability.

The painting is not didactic. It doesn’t warn. It observes. It holds. There’s no chaos — only order being tested. It asks: what holds us together? What happens when the system reaches its limit?

Biosphere invites the viewer to imagine themselves inside the painting — not as an observer, but as part of the mechanism. A component of something delicate, beautiful, and alive.

As part of the Geometric Splendor Collection, this piece adds a planetary dimension to the series — where abstraction becomes not just aesthetic, but ecological.
