"May you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering” is a mantra stemming from the Buddhist meditation of ‘Metta Bhavana’ or ‘loving kindness’. The rhythm and repetition of the words can be seen here represented by the resulting pattern. Each letter of the mantra phrase is replaced by a corresponding colour creating a symphony of colour and movement.

This painting is part of a series of ‘Mantra’ paintings completed in 2016, measuring 50 inches x 50 inches using pencil and acrylic paint on paper.
