Burnished Mandalas II by Charlotte Araghi continues a visual dialogue between ornament and time-worn surface. A constellation of delicate, mandala-like forms floats across a dark, textured field, as though gently revealed through layers of patina and erosion. The warm, coppery motifs glow subtly against the moody background, creating a quiet rhythm of repetition and variation. A vertical band of soft metallic gold introduces a sense of structure, guiding the eye through the composition. The layered surface evokes the feeling of aged walls or ancient manuscripts marked by history. Together, the elements invite reflection on continuity, balance, and the enduring beauty of sacred pattern.
