Color Body Mandala Series The Color series begins with a studio photograph of the human body, then is transformed through a meticulous symmetry process—mirroring and rotating the figure into a mandala-like structure rooted in sacred geometry. The result is a balanced, radiating composition where the body becomes both subject and architecture. What defines this series is its chromatic framework: a study of color built from a 12-color palette I developed using Fibonacci-based proportional relationships. This system brings mathematical harmony to hue, contrast, and rhythm, so color is not decoration, but the organizing force that reveals a hidden order beneath the surface.
Why collect this work?
A human figure has been converted into a strict radial system, yet the many hands keep the geometry bodily, making order appear dependent on gesture rather than detached from it.
- Bianchi describes the Body Mandalas as a practice of using the figure as a matrix for repetition. Here that approach clarifies how anatomy becomes both image and organizing structure.
- In the supplied photograph, dark arms cross and branch around a small central opening, while hands mark the outer circumference. Their varied poses interrupt the otherwise forceful symmetry with traces of individual movement.
- Catalogue information identifies a 2025 archival pigment print on metallic paper, measuring 77.4 cm square. The artist reports mirroring and rotating a studio photograph; metallic paper may make the dense tonal pattern respond to ambient light, though that effect cannot be assessed from the image.
- The work belongs in accounts of constructed photography that test where depiction ends and ornament begins. Its repeated limbs make that boundary concrete: the body remains recognizable even as it is reorganized into an impersonal emblem.
