Colours play an essential role in art. They not only influence the visual appearance of a work, but also its effect on the viewer. Colours have a special power in mandalas, as they harmonise with their symmetrical structure and can intensify emotions. But how do I find the right colours for my works? I don't rely on fixed rules, but work intuitively.

Intuitively finding the right colour palette

For me, every mandala begins with a decision: the background colour. It sets the basic mood and from there I develop the colour palette step by step. Sometimes I am drawn to a particular combination without being able to say exactly why. Then I trust my instincts and let the dynamics of the colours guide me.

Interestingly, many people unconsciously choose colours that reflect exactly the emotions they want to express or reinforce. However, there are also scientifically proven connections between colours and their psychological effects.

Colour psychology: how colours influence our perception

Colours have a proven influence on our mood and well-being. They can calm, stimulate or create a certain atmosphere. Here are a few examples:

• Blue is associated with calm, clarity and concentration. It has a balancing effect and can reduce stress. Blue mandalas are particularly suitable for quiet rooms such as bedrooms or meditation areas.
• Red stands for energy, passion and dynamism. It can activate and attract attention – perfect for creative spaces or as a powerful statement in the home.
• Green symbolises nature, growth and harmony. This colour has a calming and grounding effect, which is why it is often used in areas that are intended to promote relaxation.
• Yellow conveys optimism, light and warmth. It can lighten the mood and brings vibrancy to a room.
• Violet is associated with spirituality, inspiration and depth. This colour stimulates creativity and can support a meditative atmosphere.

The effect of colours is used specifically in psychology and interior design. They can be used deliberately to intensify certain emotions or create a certain mood in a room.

Mandalas as a design element in living spaces

Mandalas are not only an expression of artistic creativity, but can also be used specifically in interior design. Their colours and harmonious symmetry help to create a certain atmosphere in the living space.

A mandala in cool blue tones can help make a room feel calmer and more balanced – ideal for work or meditation areas. Warm red tones, on the other hand, give rooms more energy and can create a sense of dynamism. Subtle earth tones, in turn, create a natural, cosy environment.

The targeted choice of colours allows not only decorative but also atmospheric accents to be set. Mandalas can enhance a sense of living by presenting colour impulses in a harmonious setting.
