MANDALAS

PAINTING, SPIRITUALITY AND MATHEMATICS

Mandalas are Tibetan prayer pictures dedicated to meditation, introspection, discovery and maintenance of inner harmony.
They are composed according to the rules of serial painting and painted in a spiral rotation, clockwise (dextrogyre)
or in the opposite direction (levogyre), from the outside to the center (centripetal) or from the center to the outside (centrifugal),
hence the words “dextropetal”, “dextrofugal”, “levopetal” and “levofugal”.
Most are painted counter-clockwise, levogyre, which is the positive direction of rotation in mathematics.

All paintings are oil on canvas.
