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

Fiji is a tranquil celebration of island serenity and vibrant cultural spirit, capturing the soul-soothing rhythm of the South Pacific. Inspired by the pristine waters, lush vegetation, and welcoming warmth of Fijian life, this mandala invites the viewer into a space of deep calm, joy, and connection with nature. Waves of aqua, turquoise, and reef green ripple outward from the center like the ever-shifting patterns of light on the ocean’s surface. These cool, layered hues mirror the crystalline lagoons and coral reefs that surround the archipelago—fluid, radiant, and teeming with life. Bright accents of hibiscus pink and sun-drenched yellow bring tropical contrast, evoking blooming flowers, island sarongs, and the fiery glow of a Fijian sunset melting into sea and sky. Soft white highlights reflect the purity of sunlight on sand, while sandy beige undertones anchor the piece, echoing the softness of untouched beaches and the quiet comfort of coastal simplicity. The composition flows in a gentle rhythm, like the ocean’s tide—repetitive, soothing, and expansive. Each petal and dot is a meditation in motion, reflecting both the energy and stillness that define island life. This piece carries the spirit of a Fijian welcome: open-hearted, grounded, and full of joy. It is part of the Global Series, a collection that translates the emotional essence of place into color and form. Fiji is more than a mandala—it’s a visual retreat, a breath of salt air, and a reminder that peace can be both vibrant and still.
