Ocean of Eyes is a vibrant celebration of color, rhythm, and connection. Hundreds of concentric circles in luminous shades of turquoise, aqua, and deep cobalt create a mesmerizing visual field that seems to pulse with life. Each circle appears unique, yet together they form a harmonious whole—like droplets of water, living cells, or countless eyes observing the world.
The layered circular forms invite multiple interpretations. They may evoke the protective symbolism of the "evil eye," the infinite patterns found in nature, or the interconnectedness of every living being. The gradual transition from light, tranquil tones to deeper blues creates a sense of movement, depth, and quiet energy.
Playful yet meditative, the artwork encourages viewers to slow down and lose themselves in its intricate details. With every glance, new relationships emerge between the circles, transforming the composition into an ever-changing experience of curiosity, balance, and joyful discovery.
This unique abstract painting by Eyal Gilboa is from his latest body of work.
Gilboa is using Blob painting, 3D art technique where colorful, layered blobs of paint are built up on a surface (canvas, wood) to create vibrant, textured art.
My work explores the tension between control and flow through dense compositions of layered, colorful circles. Each piece is built slowly, one element at a time, creating a visual field that feels both structured and organic.
The circle is my fundamental unit — a simple, universal form that allows endless variation. Through repetition, scale, color relationships, and precise placement, I investigate rhythm, balance, and the quiet complexity that emerges from accumulation. What may appear playful or spontaneous at first glance is the result of careful attention and sustained presence.
The process itself is central to the work. It requires focus, steady breathing, and patience, turning the act of creation into a meditative practice. In this way, the paintings become records of time, attention, and embodied awareness.
I am interested in how viewers experience these works up close and from a distance - how order dissolves into vibration, and how density can still hold space for calm. My aim is to invite prolonged looking, allowing the eye and mind to wander, rest, and reconnect with a sense of inner rhythm.
