Interpretation of the work by the artist:
With a quaternary structure, this mandala has very few straight lines. All in roundness it symbolizes the movement of life, the joyful drive of life. He makes one think of the circus, the antics, the waltz of the trapeze artists, magic. The center, all in finesse, seems to expand into larger motifs, the movement goes from the inside to the outside. It invites to lightness, to confidence in life, to the discovery of the world.
Expansion - Véronique Riboud
The construction of a mandala represents a long term work. Inspiration emerges from the rich variety of arts from all over the world, Arab, Chinese, Japanese, Italian renaissance, Persian carpets... Véronique takes photos during her travels, leafs through art books, lets the images float in her mind. A motif or an association of colors will "hit" her aesthetic, make her vibrate, run through her head. From there, an idea emerges, which will then be enriched as the work is completed. Classical music is also a great source of inspiration: one finds many sketches of mandalas on Véronique's musical scores!
