Artist Statement
My name is Daiga Neilande, and I'm passionate about creating mandalas using intricate dot art techniques with acrylic paint. Each piece I make is a meditative and holistic expression aimed at bringing beauty, spiritual balance, happiness, and peace to the world.
Creating mandalas is about finding a balance between various elements, such as shape, color, and space. This balance is also essential when it comes to contrasting aspects like light and darkness and in navigating the emotional spectrum of happiness and sadness.
Making art with dots is meditation for me. Nothing exists beyond the piece I work on, only the now and the here in peace and quiet. Colors have therapeutic effects on both – the creator and the observer. For everybody, it is different. We perceive the world through our unique lenses, thus extracting what resonates with us.
My goal isn't just to add beauty to spaces with my art, but also to help foster a sense of spiritual balance and well-being. I hope my mandalas can serve as a sanctuary of happiness and peace, offering a meditative experience both for myself as an artist and those who engage with my work, providing a comforting and tranquil space.
Welcome to my creative sanctuary of artistic and spiritual discovery. Together, we can delve into the beauty and balance of mandalas.
