Colorful Buddha: Calming Mandala

•

Mandala art has existed for hundreds of years. In Buddhist religion, these drawings represent the whole universe; Buddhist monks spend hours creating beautiful pieces of art by carefully arranging colored sand, only to swipe them away as soon as they are done. This exercise made them calm and relaxed.

The power of mandalas has been known in Eastern cultures for many centuries. Considered to be highly complex maps of the cosmos, mandalas are symbolic spiritual images which, when meditated on, can bring about profound inner transformation.

So, using my design thinking and digital tools, I made the following Mandala art and combined it with an image of Buddha. These visuals are made for giving an Art Therapy to relax the brain.

Meditation can be done by concentrating on the center and taking deep and long breaths.
