Introduction

The Intuitive Geometry method is a basic set of principles for using overlapping circles to create and design anything.

Overlapping circles have been studied since ancient times. We know that two overlapping circles create the almond shape called the vesica pisces from which we can make basic geometric shapes. The intuitive geometry method includes spirals, waves, and scaling. Once you master the method’s 8 principles (circle, square, triangle, hexagon, pentagon, spirals, waves, scaling) you can apply them intuitively and draw anything.

Geometry is the language of light, it reflects the order in the underlying nature of the universe, and it is the way everything in life is connected, at all scales.

Preface

Intuitive Geometry is the outcome of a vision that inspired extensive study and a decade of practice. It is not just about drawing, it is about developing our intuition and learning the fundamental structure of life. Practicing the use of overlapping circles affects our consciousness on all levels, and our ability to become more powerful creators in this world.

Growing up in South Africa made me curious to see how other people around the world lived. I attended art school - Drawing, Design, Graphics, Print making, Art research and Documentation – and started traveling at sixteen as a cultural exchange student. After school I continued to study while living in various countries, working mostly as a freelance designer
