Book synopsis

101 mandalas and inspirations from the fine arts to ensure your well-being Since ancient times, the arts have been the custodian of sublime emotions that are associated with the search for beauty and good in our world. To the beat of your own inspiration, relive the wonderful mysteries of the greatest works of art. Add colours to Greek vases, Roman mosaics, Chinese flowers, Byzantine mosaics, refined Islamic patterns, figurative scenes on stained glass found in old cathedrals, geometric figures on Persian rugs, Celtic abstract patterns, ornaments on antique fabrics, paintings of Gustav Klimt or stained glass by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Known as mandala, this exercise is a surprising tool used for relaxation and a self-expression of one's personal space. On one hand, through a fine balancing act between our two cerebral hemispheres resulting from colouring geometric and figurative forms, a mandala interrupts the stream of thoughts that assails us, promotes steady and harmonious breathing and brings us a sense of well-being. On the other hand, an active interaction with famous works lets us fully partake in our world's beauty and live again the miracle of creation.Each of the 101 works of art in this book is presented as black contours plotted on a large page. The paper used is white offset - an excellent painting support which works well with crayons, watercolours, pastels, acrylic paint or Indian ink. Two sheets of stiff cardboard glued to the front and back covers facilitate the task of colouring. The illustrations are grouped by historical periods. At the end of the book, all the artworks used are shown in their original form, accompanied by a brief description. This book is for all those who love drawing and colouring as well as those who want to relax and discover artistic trends that shaped the art world throughout history.
