Aurélien talks about his work....
Mandalas are like mirrors... Using specific patterns, they enter in resonance with you and the different parts of your body. They are like echoes, that’s why they have such an impact on everybody's consciousness...
The Chakras series, for instance, is the result of my meditations and also the work I did with shamans, which helped me to visualize them in my body, and especially to keep the vision and be able to translate it on a sheet of paper...
The first Mandala I drew was just for myself, a kind of medicine or healing process. By drawing Mandalas you learn more and more about yourself. It’s a deep process to rebalance your body, mind and spirit. Mandalas use the Sacred Geometry patterns that are very powerful to unlock hangs-up and reopen our human potentialities... Then step-by-step you enter deeper in the process, and a new vision of the world appears.
It s not by chance we [humans have] used Mandala’s for ages to heal, to change the state of consciousness, to re-centre the body and so on.
My main inspiration comes from my different trips around the world, my different life experiences, [and] also inside my consciousness and myself. [They are] reflections of my meetings with people and their traditions, and also several masters who introduced me to the different [kinds of] sacred art and journeys in consciousness... I also study books a lot and spend a lot of time in nature meditating.
Each series of Mandalas is specific to a "vibration.” They are all inspired by the different spiritual traditions around the world. I realized that each tradition on the planet considers the Circle as one of the most Sacred Shapes. That’s so interesting ... this is a universal shape, full of meanings.
There is no specific process in the conception. Many, they... after a dream, a meditation, a walk, a meeting, a reading, work with a master...
After I have the vision I just sketch it and start to organize the energy I receive by going deeper in the translation and creation process. |
