Orange Circle, Abstract Oil Painting

2025

Artist Comments
A glowing orange circle burns against a deep blue rectangular form, set within a light blue field. The closed structure and unexpected color contrast with the looser, gestural elements elsewhere in the painting. In this work, artist Heidi Hybl revisits the circle and sphere, recurring forms that have long shaped her visual language.

About the Artist
Artist Heidi Hybl starts each day listening to the birds sing in the canyon near her home in Big Sur. Then, she makes a cup of tea, reviews the previous day’s work, turns on her podcasts and starts. She paints in a small studio that is separate from her house, and works on several pieces at a time within what she would call “organized chaos.” She also takes time to tend her flowers, vegetables, chickens and goats. A former medical professional, Heidi worked for several years with laser machines, developing a knowledge and a fascination with the color spectrum and light. Living in Big Sur offers inspiration in the ever-changing atmospheric conditions that arise when hills, canyons, and ocean meet. She then reduces these elements to an abstract experience on canvas in a color palette derived from her surroundings: sunsets and storms, fire and fog.
