Description
It's been quiet some time and I'm hooked to view old illuminated manuscripts books, and start to form in my head that I need to do some mandala with the same idea of bringing illumination to the artwork. So I decided to chose a cross which was uniquely I designed it to look like a piece of thin metal placed on top of another piece of old rusty metal. The most difficult and challenging part was to add that illumination to look like very real, as if's really shining. Most of my time was spend to achieve the luminescence effect which finally I got satisfied with it. The rest of the design is inspired by some Armenian and Byzantine decorative old shapes. The background color is so similar to the illuminated manuscripts books and textures, because I wanted to have that feeling and touch every time I look at the mandala. Now I wonder how that golden illuminated color will look like after printing on canvas?

Beautiful color combination and the illumination is as if a light is focused from behind the mandala frame, nice composition Bedros ! v/f/g+

Excellent! You've done a magnificent job capturing the richness of the metal work and the wonderful colors!

A beautiful work of art thoughtfully executed, Bedros...like the rich tones - the mix of light from the metal and the impression of aged leather as the base...an altogether "enlightened" presentation...v/f.

The texture and colours you've used brings to mind parchment paper from an ancient script Bedros. To me, it gives this piece a very old world feel which I really like! v
