About the artist

Sejal Joshi

“Mandalas represent wholeness. If you are drawn towards mandalas, then consider it a calling from your higher self.”

Sejal paints dot mandalas in London. Each one starts with a single dot at the centre and grows outward, one dot at a time.

How I got started

Mandalas have always grabbed my attention from a very young age.

For years, I didn’t understand the deep meaning behind it until I started feeling whole within myself. Now, I understand the attraction towards mandalas and sacred geometry was pointing me to go inwards and embark on a spiritual journey. At a very young age, I heard that human life is so precious, a rare opportunity to strive towards achieving nirvana, instead of getting distracted by never-ending desires for worldly things.

Divine connection

I have always felt a strong connection with the divine, who has been with me every step of the way.

Even though it seemed like a huge undertaking at the age of 7 or 8, I promised myself to at least make some progress towards achieving nirvana in this lifetime. Looking back, I can clearly see that all the ups and downs in my life were there to help me attain that goal. Whenever I had a question, I got an answer in some mysterious way, and my life has been a sequence of synchronicities reassuring me that I am on the right path. I started meditating and have kept progressing on my spiritual journey over the last 15 years.

Mentors

The right message came through at the right time, making a difficult life journey feel magical and mysterious.

I learnt a lot from some of the profound spiritual teachers of the past and our times, like Buddha, Swami Vivekananda, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Sri Ramana Maharshi, Rumi, Eckhart Tolle, Alan Watts, Adyashanti, Ram Dass, Krishna Das, Michael Singer and many more. They left a deep impact and helped me develop unconditional love and forgiveness.

My calling

In 2018, I bought colours for the first time since I had left school. As soon as I put the first dot, I fell in love with it.

As I progressed on my spiritual journey and started feeling whole, peaceful and meditative, I had a strong urge to start painting mandalas. I didn’t even know if I could use the colours to create anything. I just start from the centre dot, go into the flow state, and let the mandala form naturally. Once I started, I couldn’t stop. Even after a busy day at work, as soon as I enter my room I go to the corner where I keep my colours and canvases and start painting. I feel that my higher self, or the source, is painting through me.

Love

Each mandala carries different energy, so you will find yourself drawn to the one you need on your journey towards wholeness.

Mandalas help develop awareness and mindfulness, as they demand attention with their vibrant colours and shapes. The shapes and colours in the circles represent the manifested universe, while the tiniest part of the innermost dot represents the formless source of unconditional love. By drawing your attention to the centre, a mandala encourages you to go within, to the source of love in your own heart. As these mandalas are created by tuning into that source, they bring positive, peaceful energy into your home or workplace and help you feel whole, content and at peace.

How a mandala is made

1

A single dot at the centre

Every piece begins with one dot. Nothing is planned beyond it.

2

Built outward, dot by dot

With acrylic paint and dotting tools, the mandala grows ring by ring in a slow, meditative flow, so no two are ever the same.

Original, print and card

The finished canvas is sold as a one-of-a-kind original, and the design is reproduced as prints on premium paper and as greeting cards.
