Then I started creating mandalas and kaleidoscopes for the writers and artists who had inspired me.

At the same time I wrote Self-Expression and Human Existence and About Beauty. I realized that I was drawn to “perform” the beauty of those great masters who had expressed themselves.

So I started posting tributes to those who had self-expressed.

I transform my own digital images and the images in the public domain into mandala, kaleidoscope, and sacred geometry art. In the process of doing the transformation, I learn new things about these artists and writers at subtle levels. Things that I didn’t know from the visual perspectives.

A little bit like I am decoding/retrieving the essence of the paintings, or the artists. It seems I enter their heart world.

There are so much to see in these mandala, kaleidoscope, and sacred geometry images. They disclose magical, mystical, spiritual, and meditative feelings.

I feel myself being transformed.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

These great artists and writers have passed away but their expressions are eternal.

Our loved ones have left this physical world of ours, but their expressions are still alive, whether trivial or significant.

Life does not end, spirit goes on. It’s just something beyond our understanding.

Maybe death is just a transformation.

I thought I can transform our loved ones’ pictures, or their favorite pictures, into mandala or sacred geometry art.

We offer the mandala with love and blessings to send forth our beloved to their journey.

A beautiful voyage to the Light.

We pray to the universe to guide and protect our loved ones.

And we remember our love for them, thank them for having been with us.

You may send me a picture and your prayer, poem, or what you would like to say. I will transform the picture into a mandala. When I post the mandala with your words I will say a prayer.
