For some reasons, a few yet unknown to me, I have christened this one “Meditative”.
Many a time I have felt at peace, staring into the depths of these ornate circles, while I was making it.
The white ink on black paper is also an indication of how art can triumph over all the obstacles in life, even when it’s our darkest hour. I made this during one of the worst times in my life; and I can safely say that the task of bringing this to fruition is what contributed the most in encouraging me to wake up and face the day, back in those tumultuous months.
Art is food for the soul. It teaches us something that no school or college does – to look beyond what is visible, to think beyond facts and figures and to grow beyond what you expected yourself to.
Art is meditative, if only we let our minds accept that for real in the moment of misery.
The Meditative Mandala presents itself as a platform that can be used by the viewer for the purpose of reflection, of their inner wishes and desires.
One can project their anxieties and worries outwards, and watch how the outer circles of this mandala absorbs them. Once you are in sync with the frequency this mandala emits, you can go deeper into the inner circles while visualising all the beauty that you would want to fill your life with.
Depending on how much time you have invested in getting to know this artwork for what it is, you will be able to reap the intangible benefits that it is meant to provide you.
I hope even a glimpse offers you some peace and time for reflection.
Here’s presenting the second artwork from my Mandala collection.
