Interpretation of the work by the artist:
This mandala invites you to let go: from apparent disorder harmony can emerge, as long as there is a stable structure around or within which the creativity. There is no judgment to be made, the drawing invites indulgence, gentleness, acceptance of what is. Harmony arises from hindsight, from the overall vision of the work, a metaphor for life: sometimes rich, sometimes brutal, sometimes blocked, sometimes fluid. Everything is given at the start, at the center, everything is coherent.
Arabesque - 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!
