Hand-inked Snowflake mandala
"Hidden palace"
130 x 130 cm / 51 x 51 in
Hello and welcome to my happy place!
I create these pieces out of sheer happiness. It is a very relaxing, joyful and 100% intuitive process.
My inspiration is always connected with childhood memories and inner child's joy.
These flakes, for me, represent universes, hidden worlds and secrets. I always enjoy discovering tiny details afterwards.
It is a very intuitive process, and not a single time do I have a clue of what is about to be created.
When finished, I'm nervous and excited, hoping that my enjoyment shows in the final result,
after the single hand-drawn triangle becomes a complete flake in my computer.
All pieces are 100% hand drawn, then scanned and digitally multiplied to create this serene and precise symmetry.
I "sacrificed" all hand-drawn all around to complexity and flow in the final results.

This way of working liberated my creativity. And I can now put all my joy and love in the creative process of every piece, rather that focusing in precise copying, while giving the amount of detail that I most deeply desire.

Please enjoy this Hidden palace. It reminded me of one, because when I first saw it finished, it connected with one of my very dear children's book that I still own since I was a child. It has the most unique illustrations, that are of the same colors that I happened to use here, illustrated by Dimitri Makhashvili.
It features tales from 1001 nights.
Prints of all my drawings will be available for purchase soon!
