Moonlight

“Beethoven dedicated the most famous and poignant ‘Sonata’ in the history of music to the melancholic glow of the moon.
This Mandala by Giada Zammitti, perhaps the most delicate and challenging in her collection, is a daring attempt to bring the most complex and contradictory of human feelings into graphic and chromatic form. It caresses the heart and at the same time it hurts it; from such torment a promise of joy arises; and on it goes, in an endless spiral.

In Moonlight, joy and sorrow are so inextricably linked that they recall the ineffability of music. The deep blue of the nocturnal song of the Moon dominates over cyan and magenta through circular volutes of lotus flowers.

This is certainly another Mandala of abyssal, mystical interiority; it is perfect for those who, besides appreciating art, love the silent companion of the night.”

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.
