MANDALA, GEOMETRIC

Round, symmetrically arranged, and somehow self-contained: Mandalas exude calmness and harmony. The word „Mandala“ comes from the Sanskrit language and means „circle“. These intricately constructed images have been used for many thousands of years. From ancient church windows to rock drawings in South America, we find Mandalas in almost all cultures and religions. Symmetry, geometric shapes, and colors unfold a psychological effect when viewed. Often, numerical symbolism accompanies them. Popular motifs include flowers, especially the Lotus, symbolizing fidelity and purity.
