Welcome to Artworks by Stacey! There is much to see here. So, please take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about mandalas. Everything that you will see in our gallery has a unique personality. I have carefully created every mandala using a freehand technique with India Ink. You may notice that for identification purposes, I name my mandalas.
Each Mandala is an exact replica of its original copyrighted design.
THE MEANING OF MANDALA
"The meaning of the word mandala in Sanskrit is circle. Mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the universe. The circular design symbolizes the idea that life is never ending and everything is connected. The mandala also represents the spiritual journey within the individual viewer."
"The primary use for mandalas is as a form of meditation to gain knowledge from within. The mandalas are symbolic images, which when meditated on can bring profound inner transformation along with centering the body and mind. The first step is to select a mandala that strongly appeals to you. Then you focus on the intention that you want to bring into your life and then take in the beautiful design of the mandala by gently gazing at the design. If your mind starts to think about daily stresses, simply bring your focus back to the beauty of the mandala."
