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 you can draw, paint ... Very often contain a mandala or quaternity multiple of four in the shape 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 circumscribe the same limits that nature has given to our being in a word where we start collecting, so looking to know, is to be simultaneously present before us all that we are composed.

OPERA
in 1990 were performed by the Master Patella 2 mosaics and one here has a significant value as it is one of the few that has the mirrors. The graphics architecture of this mandala is unique as it has been used many different materials, woods (naked, painted and colored by various forms), painted fabrics to accentuate the story, brick tiles used as dividers, dust created by grinding manually tiles. All materials are mosaics of the ancient Hugh Donà & Sons Company, no longer active in Venice. The experts of the mosaic can evaluate the technical difficulties that Master Patella has passed to make glass surfaces from very light shades, all included in geometric contexts enabled the construction of a mandala where the mirrors broken and repositioned to the four corners of a square mark the border to within which the symbols of 'I Ching indicate the artist's cultural past. The symbolism of the mirror is full of meanings (mostly those related to the act of breaking and reconstruction), in this case, these meanings are closely related to the I Ching, in general, as you can see the eight combinations basilari dei segni fissi e variabili. Quattro lettere in alfabeto greco marcano i quattro angoli del quadrato più grande. Si dovrebbe continuare a recensire questo mosaico ma si toglierebbe il gusto della scoperta di tutti i significati correlati alla ricerca sui mandala e non solo su quelli.

DEFINIZIONE COSTO-BASE
Un’opera d’arte, in generale (una scultura, una tela, una stampa), comporta dei costi materiali (materie prime usate, tempi e qualità della manodopera) e dei costi immateriali (ricerca artistica specifica, valore aggiunto dato dall’artista e dalla sua storia personale). Un mosaico richiede tempi lunghi che, nel caso specifico dell’artista in oggetto, 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 240 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. Technique In this case surfaces shows powder shades "technically" valuable and unsurpassed.
