Burnished Mandalas I by Charlotte Araghi is a richly layered composition that merges sacred geometry with the quiet poetry of aged surfaces. Intricate, mandala-like forms emerge from a weathered, earth-toned ground, as though uncovered from beneath layers of time. The burnished gold accents catch the light softly, lending the piece a sense of warmth and quiet reverence. A vertical band of muted metallic tone anchors the work, creating a subtle balance between structure and ornament. The textured background suggests erosion, memory, and transformation. Together, these elements invite contemplation, offering a visual meditation on harmony, history, and renewal.
