Organic Mandala Pillow

This organic mandala design fairly glows in neon-bright colors set off by black, rolling against a painted backdrop that resembles a galaxy drifting in space. Its petal-like shapes spiral like a whorl of leaves opening on a flower bud; the design is based on the plan of an artichoke - illustrating the fractal qualities of flowers, vegetables, and other organic structures. Based on a mixed-media art piece I created using acrylic paints, gel markers, and tissue-paper overlay on canvas board.
