“As the title suggests, the theme of this Mandala by Giada Zammitti is healing; that is, the process that leads from illness (considered as a disharmonious condition) to health/harmony.
In our case, health and illness are to be intended in a broad sense and include the human being as a whole. This brings us back to the essence of the artist’s entire production, which always arises from a need for development, integration, creation. In each of Giada’s Mandala, we start from a state of deprivation and contrition, and we reach one of fullness and expansion.
‘Healing’ displays this liberating and ascending motion as both forceful and delicate; balanced and accomplished.
From the colour palette, we can see a transition from green to indigo, through an interplay of pink, cyan, cerulean, yellow, magenta and purple. It’s a joyful kaleidoscope that celebrates the inexhaustible fertility of the healing power of nature.
References to floral motifs (the lotus), to foliage and to the very sap of life are evident in the concentric rings.
If art has a therapeutic function, then this Mandala is ideal: it’s joyful, strong, luminous, and protective, just like a talisman.”
WHAT IS A MANDALA
A mandala is a sacred geometric design that originated in ancient religious and spiritual traditions. It is often depicted as a circle with intricate patterns and symbols radiating from the center. The word “mandala” comes from the Sanskrit word for “circle,” and it represents the universe or the sacred space within it.
Mandalas are used as tools for meditation, spiritual reflection, and personal growth. They are believed to help individuals connect with their inner selves, find balance and harmony, and tap into a higher state of consciousness.
The design of a mandala is highly symbolic. The circular shape represents wholeness and unity, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all things. The center of the mandala is considered the focal point, representing the center of our being or the divine essence within us.
Creating or engaging with mandalas can be a transformative practice, offering a pathway to inner peace, self-discovery, and spiritual growth.
