Ink on Paper - SWTBT #5 - Original art by Melanie Circle

In SWTBT #5, swirling motion and layered forms create a sense of vibrant chaos — yet from the disorder, a pattern of holding emerges. Two profiles, almost mirrored, seem to cradle a central space of color and energy. Hands, faces, and textures reveal themselves gradually in a luminous tangle of scribbled lines and diffused edges.

Melanie Circle invites us into her intuitive process, one guided by trust in uncertainty. She begins with overlapping colours, blurred words, and fluid marks, allowing the painting to reveal its own story over time. There is no plan — only curiosity.

This piece is an invitation to feel before you define, to let go of meaning and let meaning find you.
