Description

‘Circles’ is a striking contemporary painting inspired by the majestic red kite, a bird celebrated for its effortless flight and graceful presence in the sky. Set against an uplifting palette of hot pink, pale violet, powder blue, and Naples yellow, the bird soars, wings outstretched, through layers of colour that evoke open skies, shifting light, and the invisible currents that carry it effortlessly aloft.

Feel inspired

The title 'Circles' refers to the dramatic aerial movements of the red kite. Often seen gliding in wide, elegant circles high above the landscape, the bird appears almost weightless as it rides thermal currents. These circular patterns become a metaphor for life's rhythms—growth, renewal, perspective, and the idea that we are constantly returning to what matters most.

For centuries, red kites have been associated with freedom, resilience, vision, and opportunity. Once close to extinction in the UK and now thriving once again, they have become powerful symbols of hope, recovery, and transformation. Their ability to soar high above the world below encourages us to step back, gain perspective, and trust the journey ahead.

Sian watches the red kites circling each day from her Hampshire studio - a breathtaking source of inspiration.

How it was created

As the sole owner of this original artwork, you'll discover layers, textures, and subtle details that photographs simply can't fully capture.

Sian Storey works intuitively, building each painting through successive layers of acrylic paint and spray paint. In ‘Circles’ vibrant washes of colour create atmosphere and depth, while expressive mark-making and refined brushwork bring the red kite to life.

The interplay between bold colour, controlled detail, and spontaneous movement allows the painting to evolve organically. This process gives ‘Circles’ its distinctive energy — a luxurious, one-of-a-kind artwork crafted entirely by hand.

‘Circles’ is for those who love colour, nature, and original art that sparks conversation.
