The composition explores the magnetism of contrast between absolute darkness and the golden reflections of the earth. Built upon a black base with pronounced texture, the mandala takes shape through a radial, concentric geometry that anchors the gaze and amplifies the physical relief.
The structural lines of the design are traced by fine chips of tiger's eye, whose golden and earthy tones catch the light depending on the viewing angle. Serving as a counterpoint of weight and solidity, polished black onyx stones rest strategically across the mandala's vertices and rays, adding sculptural volume and a refined vitreous sheen. The result is a piece of minimalist and ancestral aesthetics, where geological time translates into visual harmony on canvas.
