CG Jung explains: "The Sanskrit word mandala means circle in general. In the context of religious practices and in psychology it means circular images that can be drawn, Very often, the mandala painting ... quaternity contain a multiple of four or in the form of a cross, star, square ... In alchemy this is why it has taken the form of squaring Circular. G. Poulet, quoting a passage from Rousseau's Lettres, compares the condition of those who delves into his life with that of a spider at the center of its web: "Let us become once again ourselves, with the focus on us, with our soul with the limit same limits that nature has given to our being, in a word where we start collecting, so looking to know, you may call at the same time in front of us all that we are composed.

OPERA
in 1994 were performed by the Master Patella 8 mosaics and one here has a significant value as it is one of those made with smalti original ancient Ugo Donà & Sons Company, a company no longer active in Venice. Glazes have the character to be very thick: well, I know, these glazes are no longer in production and thus add to the mandala is a unique added value. The thickness of the glazes - interspersed by the various surfaces of the shades - creates textured paths that the photos (unfortunately necessarily low resolution) can not communicate. Glazes are glassy materials intimately changing colors as the color was not added to the surface but is part of the glass material itself. Add the reflectivity of glass surfaces, debris, resins incorporated with silver, gold and sand tones slight. Around the central square of a "symbolic desert sandy surface with pale golden mosaic isolates the nucleus from the little frame of wood: one created by the surface in one working session and that presents enormous technical difficulties (the experts of the mosaic will comprendeno the entity). The small square Central consists of gold tiles that absorb the attention is focused from the outside through the woods from time and soaked through the reflections of the flakes vague in the center circle. The mandala has a point to refer to, is held from a particular other and is repeated continuously. We should continue to review this mosaic, but it would take away the taste of the discovery of all significantly correlated with research on the mandala. DEFINITION COST-BASED
work of art in general (a sculpture, a painting, print), involves material costs (raw materials used, time and quality of labor) and intangible costs (search for specific artists, value added given by the artist and his personal history). A mosaic requires time-consuming, in this case the artist in question, can be quantified in an average of 5 hours of work in order to fully an area of \u200b\u200b100x100mm (a square of 10 cm per side). This mosaic took about 250 hours of manual labor. And these are mandatory minimum time may increase but certainly can not be shortened. An additional burden is the fact that glassy materials (tiles in various thicknesses) - by their nature expensive - are to be ordered directly from the factory in Murano and / or in the immediate vicinity. Lastly, add the technique used by the artist, that is, to pulverize a large number of the smalti and unwind in homogeneous backgrounds and / or in combination: a rare technical, innovative and surprising results. In this mosaic powder in the backgrounds of the results achieved truly exemplary.
