Cryptik. The Jewel In The Lotus - Gold Leaf Edition. Edition Size: 20. 29.5 x 29.5 Inches 5-Color Serigraph on 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper. $ 250.00. "This print was inspired by a painting I did last year as part of the ongoing 'Mantra Mandala Series.' I recreated it using hand-painted color separations specifically for this release. This piece is part of a recent series that I've been exploring called the 'Mantra Mandalas,' where art can become a tool for meditation. These are printed on 100% cotton rag, using hand-painted color separations done in acrylic. This is something I've been seeing in my mind, but I've always imagined the rings rotating like a Tibetan prayer wheel where each rotation is equivalent to reciting the mantra out loud. Hence, I decided to use the same mantra, OM MANI PADME HUM (the Jewel In the Lotus). Basically, this print is just a freeze frame of that vision." - Cryptik.
