Original Painting

Mandala of Little Spaces

Mandala, Paintings

The “Mandala of Little Spaces” is a geometric exploration of the concept of space. It presents a world built from interconnected smaller spaces, a theme visually represented through a mandala structure. The artwork features gates rendered in blue lines, which are intentionally asymmetrical and closed, suggesting a personal, introspective journey.

The core of the painting is a fractal pattern of triangles, demonstrating how the division of a single space into equal, smaller parts can create an infinitely repeating, complex design.

Cultural Details

The “Mandala of Little Spaces” draws upon the ancient spiritual tradition of mandalas, which are symbolic representations of the cosmos in various cultures. In this artwork, the fractal pattern of triangles can be seen as a modern interpretation of this concept, reflecting the interconnectedness of all things, from the macro to the micro. The closed gates suggest a personal, introspective journey, aligning with the use of mandalas in meditation as a tool for inner exploration and a deeper understanding of one’s place within the vast, infinite cosmos.

Artist's Personal Note

“My work, “Mandala of Little Spaces,” is a meditation on the nature of space. I sought to represent the cosmic idea that our world is composed of countless individual spaces. The closed, slightly asymmetrical blue gates of the mandala symbolize a personal, internal understanding of this concept. By repeatedly dividing triangles, I created fractals, a visual metaphor for the infinite nature of space and the idea that even the smallest parts contain within them a universe of possibility.”
