Mandala is a Sanskrit term for “circle.” However, the principles of mandala art are currently used to create a variety of forms and patterns.
This essence of me emerged as a result of the pandemic, and I find the process of creating mandala art to be quite soothing. Every drawing is a reflection of my inner world at the moment of creation. And I’m driven by my instinct while I work on the inner designs. I’m not a trained artist; I just get a sense of calm since it takes a lot of focus and patience.
Probably begin with a dot or a line and let it lead you anywhere it wants!?
