janamandala
Janamandala is a combination of two words: “jana” and “mandala”.
Jana is the one who paints the mandalas.
She starts from measuring a midpoint on the canvas. Using a pen, a ruler, a compass and a template she draws a geometrical draft, the outlines of which she paints over with a fine brush and black acrylic paint. The most exciting part is the coloring, which highlights the uniqueness of each mandala. Finally, she finishes the outline with a fine brush and fills the mandala with patterns and symbols.
jana and mandala
A mandala is a circular symmetrical image made up of planar geometric shapes.
By combining three basic shapes – square, triangle and circle – you can create an infinite number of different pattern variations. Often, they become spatial in the eyes of the viewer.
Colors add hue and shine. Dark highlights light.
Jana likes to think that the mandala is a reduced and simplified image of the Universe.
The mandala expresses the interconnectedness of everyone and everything. It is a structure within which infinite creative freedom exists.
Man is not able to understand the boundaries of the Universe. However, the mandala is understandable in an instant. Everything is, of course, much deeper, higher and more spacious than the canvas surface shows at a glance.
