Black Swan (Sacred Circle Series)
Oil on canvas, 48 x 48 inches
Part of the Sacred Circle series and featured in the 2023 Heckscher Museum Biennial, Black Swan reimagines the myth of Leda and the Swan through a language of geometry, movement, and abstraction. Sweeping black circular forms interlock across the canvas, gradually revealing the silhouette of a swan emerging from within the composition itself. This piece can be collected separately or alongside ‘The Birth of Gemini’ as a companion piece exploring the same myth and legend.
The painting balances elegance and tension — the swan at once graceful, mysterious, and psychologically charged. Fields of black and white are punctuated by flashes of blue and red, suggesting both serenity and danger, beauty and transformation. Rooted in classical mythology yet rendered in a contemporary visual vocabulary, the work explores themes of power, seduction, and the enduring resonance of archetypal stories.
