Sometimes people ask me why I paint mandalas of all things. And why I use the dot painting technique. Even though it requires so much patience. Here are five reasons why.

I find peace—and myself

For me, mandala painting is not a pastime, but a state of being. It is an inner space where I can be completely myself. When I choose colors and work my way through a pattern dot by dot, the outside world becomes quieter. To-do lists, voices, and pressure drift into the background. What remains? Presence: alert, focused, clear.

I follow my intuition and find stability in repetition

I love this interplay between free flow and precise repetition. Between the desire to create something and the confidence to let it develop. A mandala provides a clear form—and yet every part of it is an expression of freedom. This tension never stops fascinating me.

I sense that there is more to it

I don't paint mandalas because they are beautiful. Well, of course they are beautiful. But I paint them (also) because I feel that they set something in motion—in me, in the room, and in others. This power is quiet, but noticeable. I love those moments when someone pauses in front of one of my works. When no words are necessary because something else is happening. It is the silent connection that fascinates me so much.

I learn from every new picture

Every mandala tells its own story. Sometimes I am surprised by colours, sometimes by patterns that seem to develop on their own. I love that I am never “finished”—neither in style, expression, nor experience. Mandala painting accompanies my development and sometimes reveals paths to me before I can even name them myself.

I'm leaving something behind that has an impact

Once a mandala is finished, it is more than just a picture. It is an energy that remains. I love that my art transforms spaces. That it touches people. And that it perhaps ends up exactly where it is needed.

And you?
