Flower Garden Mandala

The principle that was followed with this mandala, painted in 2016, is that no milimetre of space go wasted, and that the thing, once finished, look sufficiently grand by virtue of its composite flourishes. This mandala takes influences from the devotional filigreeing of mosque tiles; the intense aesthetical experience of standing back and taking in an entire wall comprised of many thousands of intricately detailed tiles, is quite extraordinary. The human proclivity to look within and see fathomless beauty manifested in the imaginative processes, is surely one to harness. William Morris’s floral designs were also pored over for inspiration during the process of creating this very special painting. The original is three foot by three foot – acrylic on stretched canvas.
