He Left as a Dot
2025

For omentejovem, art is a mirror. One that reflects the artist’s intentions, but also shows the viewer’s own memories and desires; your mental shape. Though the whole ‘Stories on Circles’ series carries the imprint of personal creation, the artist finds greater meaning in how others receive it: in what they notice, feel, or quietly project onto the work. This exchange feels profoundly human for him, and a necessary way of bringing us all together, to know we are not alone in the wild and bittersweet journey of life. If you allow yourself a moment to linger, just noticing the work, something unexpected may emerge; perhaps less in the artwork itself, but actually more within you. “This is the last artwork in the collection. It doesn’t ask to be understood, but to be felt.”

About the collection

Stories on Circles is a 10-work collection by Brazilian artist omentejovem, first presented by SILK in Bali, May 2025.

Across the series, rounded forms and symbolic figures appear in intimate, colorful scenes. The circle returns throughout the collection as a structure for holding feeling: a shape that gathers bodies, gestures, memories, and moments of closeness.

Following the sold-out digital release, selected works from ‘Stories on Circles’ are now available as physical prints through Silk Store. Each print is drawn from the original collection, bringing omentejovem’s digital images into a material form made for sustained looking.

Each piece is available in two formats. Regular edition prints come as a limited edition of 3, signed and numbered by the artist and shipped rolled in a protective tube — ready for you to frame your own way. The artist's proofs (A.P.) are the collector's format: signed and numbered, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
