Bali - 24.8" x 24.8" x .5" Acrylic on Wood - 2025

Bali is a mandala of gentle movement and sacred stillness—an homage to the island’s harmonious blend of natural beauty, spiritual ritual, and artistic soul. Tranquil yet vibrant, this piece mirrors the rhythm of ocean tides and the mindful repetition of daily offerings placed with intention at dawn. It captures the spirit of a place where beauty is woven into every moment and calm is cultivated like a garden. A palette of aqua, jade, coral, and warm sand flows outward in balanced rhythm, evoking the colors of lotus ponds, hand-woven canang sari, and the glow of sunlight on stone. These hues gently layer and spiral like the flowing sarongs of temple dancers, or the waves rolling against Bali’s volcanic shores. The teardrop motifs and soft dotted textures shimmer across the surface, calling to mind batik textiles drying in coastal breezes or sacred carvings softened by centuries of touch and time. There is a quiet repetition here that feels like prayer—the kind whispered in the rustling palms or carried on incense smoke rising between jungle and sky. The mandala unfolds like a meditative journey, each ring a breath, each dot a gesture of grace. The floral patterns echo the sacred geometry found in temple gates and ceremonial mandalas—symbolizing balance, interconnectedness, and spirit.
