Mandala

Giada Zammitti’s mandalic production is articulated in the six fundamental existential dimensions of every human being, to which the cataloguing that follows corresponds:

Seasons & Nature

Our life is marked by the same rhythms that move the heavens, the moons and the stars. Cold, heat, stillness, idleness, awakening, sleep, exuberance, growth peak and decline. Each of these mandalas takes us to the heart of it all.

Emotions

Emotions are the living ocean in which our soul swims, almost incessantly, including peace, which is the flat calm, the becalmedness of that ocean. But they are also the sky, in which clouds of every kind, colour, shape, density, whiteness and gloom play and chase each other. In this section, the artist explores the range of the basic motions of the soul, transposing them into the living graphics of the Mandala.

Spirituality

Probably, ‘Spirituality’ is the central theme of Giada’s entire artistic creation, and, therefore, the one on which the others are based and developed. Beyond any specific confessional form, spirituality stems from the need to search for the deepest and ultimate meaning of our being in the world. The ‘what is beyond appearance’ is the central question that has always characterised existence. Therefore, the Mandalas in this section are those that most represent Giada Zammitti’s true inspiration.

Human relationships

This area explores the different relational dimensions that every human being has with his fellow human beings; it has, consequently, a direct proximity to the theme of emotions, since the basic ones develop from family and social relationships.
Family, indeed, passion, connection, etc., but always against the backdrop of the dominance of elegance and nobility of spirit.
In this section, everyone will find themselves in others, and others in themselves.

Healing and protection

One of our primary needs is the pursuit and maintenance of an optimal state of health of body and mind.
In this area, the preeminent possibilities available to us for achieving health and harmony are summarised and rendered in the specific manner of the Mandala. Obviously, we are referring to mental and spiritual means, so that the titles of the main Mandalas are ‘faith’, ‘friendship’, ‘blessing’, ‘effort’.

Change

Everything changes, life is an incessant change, from the motion of the stars, to the sprouting of a seed, to the circulation of blood, the whole universe is the cessation of something and the beginning of something else. From the human perspective, all this passes through the aspects of hope, of ‘dark passages’, of ‘doors’ that open and others that close, transitions, visions; which, precisely, are the titles of some of these Mandalas.
