Carpet - mandala with blue flowers

Gabriela Siegmund - Poland

This is another painting from my mandala series. The idea was to make an attempt to capture elegance, expressed in the combination of simplicity with beauty, richness of ornamentation with lightness of the paiting, static combined with movement,  eternity combined with mortality. infinity enclosed in a circle only 70 cm in diameter. the painting depicts abstract flowers to emphasize its versatility

The name "carpet” refers to the form I adopted for my paintings. Carpets, present in Asian cultures, but also typical of most cultures coexisting in Poland, where I was born and raised, are an object that brings beauty to the homes in which they are found, giving warmth and coziness, stimulating the imagination. Carpets and their symbols were also often used to transmit information to subsequent generations. And it is these features of carpets and their social functions that I refer to in my art work.

The painting was made in mixed technique (acrylic paints, contour paints, glass, on cotton canvas).
