Description

Circle of Life by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Circle of Life is a rare, signed and numbered limited edition lithograph by P. Buckley Moss, part of her Religious Collection.

This striking work portrays Christ on the cross, abstracted in Moss’s signature linear and elongated style. The background features a large circular motif—suggesting the eternal cycle of life, death, and resurrection. The overlapping geometric forms in muted, spiritual tones of gold, lavender, rose, and blue enhance the symbolism of eternity and transcendence.

Style & Technique

Moss uses a more abstract and spiritual approach here compared to her folk art and pastoral themes. Characteristics include:

• Elongated, expressive figure of Christ, emphasizing sacrifice and transcendence.

• Radiating circular geometry, symbolizing eternity, wholeness, and divine presence.

• Soft, layered pastels and earth tones, creating a sacred, contemplative atmosphere.

This piece reflects Moss’s deep connection to faith, renewal, and the spiritual journey of humanity.

Mood & Meaning

The mood is solemn yet hopeful. While the crucifixion is depicted, the circular form behind Christ conveys the promise of eternal life and resurrection. It serves as a meditation on the continuity of life through faith.

Placement & Gift Ideas

This lithograph is ideal for:

• A place of worship or chapel.

• A meditative space at home.

• A gift for clergy, seminarians, or devout collectors.

• Anyone seeking inspiration through art that unites suffering, faith, and eternal hope.
