“All of Giada Zammitti’s mandalas, directly or indirectly, stem from the same motivation, the same root cause: the need for clarity, radiance, original candour. Generally, this need arises from an opposite condition, characterised by perplexity, confusion, doubt, absence, turmoil.
From such state the need to strive for liberation and Light always develops.
‘Visions’ is the theme of the Mandala; a vision is the object of the act of seeing. The root of the word is from Latin ‘videre’ and Indo-Aryan ‘vid’, which expresses the idea of direct perception of Light, Truth, Essence.

The Mandala expresses the need to see beyond appearance, beyond the distracting deception of the multiplicity of things, in order to grasp the overall meaning of what we call life/universe.

The core of the Mandala is the same for every human being: the central ‘Eye’, the heart. The heart is at the basis of every cognitive and perceptive act, from which derives the infinite variety of individual insights and sensations.

The essence of this Mandala is the same for all those who look at it and SEE it, in an interplay of mirrors in which the observed becomes the observer. In other words, to look at this mandala is to look at yourself, from the centre to the edges; observer and observed become ONE.
Living magic in graphic form.

Chromatically, the transition from indigo to turquoise, through cyan and pink, ensures an ambience of quiet security and coziness. The dancing circular arabesques lead us into the game of life, down to the flower, in the centre of which the eternal eye dwells.

This Mandala is a mirror in which we can see ourselves naked.”

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.
