About mandalas:

Mandalas are much more than mere designs. Mandala comes from the Sanskrit word ‘Mandal,’ meaning circle. It is a circular, symmetrical design with repetitions of patterns that create an illusion of motion. It is a therapeutic art and reflects the artist’s soul. The mandala’s purpose is to help transform ordinary minds into enlightened ones.

This is the magic of art, which can convert anything into pure beauty. The mandala dot art patterns can be made on any sized canvas, terracotta plates, coasters, pebbles, trays, etc. The paintings can be used as gifts, home décor, wall hangings, fridge magnets, etc. In this display, you will find all the upcycled items like CDs, records, wine bottles, cutting boards, etc.

Dot mandala paintings are done with the technique of pointillism. Thousands of colored dots on the canvas make an outcome.

Since ancient times, Dot Mandala Art is considered a form of meditative art. By drawing them, you can increase concentration levels and helps your mind stay calm. Try it! You will end up making more than one.
