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

Seville moves to the heartbeat of southern Spain, where every street seems to hum with life and history. The air carries the mingled scents of orange blossoms and simmering saffron, while the distant strum of a flamenco guitar drifts from shaded courtyards. In the afternoon sun, Moorish arches rise like poetry in stone, their carved patterns casting lace-like shadows across the warm tiles. Sunlit plazas open suddenly between narrow lanes, inviting you to linger, to watch dancers in swirling skirts mark time with the snap of castanets and the stamping of heels. In this mandala, fiery reds and molten golds arc outward like the sweep of embroidered fabric caught mid-turn, their movement alive and unrestrained. Cool turquoise threads through the design like a whisper of Andalusian sky, clear, infinite, and serene above the city’s bustle. Layer upon layer of petal motifs expand in rhythmic harmony, echoing the intricate tilework that adorns palace walls and fountains. Each dotted accent feels like a jeweled note in Seville’s ornate crown, a reminder of the city’s centuries-long embrace of artistry and craft. This mandala holds the warmth of a summer evening in Seville—when the day’s heat softens, lanterns flicker to life, and music spills into the streets. It invites the viewer to pause, to savor, and to step into a place where celebration is not just an event but a way of being, and where the rhythm never truly ends.
