“Year of the Ox 2009” by Janus
“Year of the Ox 2009” radiates a grounded energy—an abstract homage to stability, strength, and inner resolve. The central form, built from intense reds and warm oranges, evokes the towering, unmoving presence of the Ox—a symbol of dignity and quiet endurance.
Encircling blues and blacks suggest life’s challenges, yet they do not shake the core. Yellow and blue lines scatter wildly across the canvas, but they too fall into place—absorbed into a greater harmony. Just as obstacles are transformed by the Ox’s perseverance into progress and prosperity.
This painting speaks of strength that is not loud. Janus offers a vision of calm force, of determination housed within patience, of a journey not rushed but certain.
