Original filePiazza del duomo, mandala su impalcature
The image features a large, radially symmetric mandala executed in black calligraphic brushstrokes against a light, off-white background of wooden boards. The design is structured around a central square lattice, from which intricate, flame-like or petal-like curves radiate outward in a four-fold symmetry. In the foreground, parts of two gray outdoor tables with red place mats and drinking glasses are visible, indicating the artwork is located in a street-side dining area adjacent to construction hoarding.
The work represents a contemporary appropriation of sacred geometry and Eastern contemplative art forms, recontextualized within the urban environment of Florence's Piazza del Duomo.
