Our Art.
Unless otherwise stated, all of our colouring images start as original hand-drawn designs, which are then digitally manipulated and enhanced on a tablet to produce the photographic quality prints used in the production of our artworks and colouring books.
This shift to a 100% digital approach coincided with our growing interest in colouring art as a mindfulness tool and as a mediation aid, helping the mind focus on one intricate and calming activity. It is no coincidence that all of our colouring book art draws inspiration from Mandala art. Mandala art often comes in the form of a disc or circle with a pronounced centre point and radiating symmetrical patterns.
One of the main characteristics of our artworks is their symmetry. The original line drawings are arranged around a central point and multiplied to create balance and harmony within the work itself. These symmetrical patterns can be intricate and detailed, with repetitive shapes and lines forming complex geometric shapes.
Another aspect of our print art is the use of colour. We use colour theory to combine natural mineral shades to create blends that encourage calmness or promote energy.
