Festivals, Italy, Torino, 15 March 2019
The "Duo" composed by Ilaria Gaccetta and Fabrizio Ferracin, presents at the Oriental Festival the Mandala Art as a universal symbol.
From the African sun wheel to the Buddhist samsara, from the ancient Navaho to the Jung notebooks, Mandala has always been a fascinating, personal and collective ritual.
The Mandala comprises a set of knowledge that unites East and West, is culture that extends to the Infinite and is a valuable educational contribution, promotes individual growth and socialization.
The Mandala is structured through the "circular space", welcomes every diversity and every quality of the human being that is reflected and found in it.
The Mandala is an experience that, by offering a profound regenerating and harmonizing effect on our mind, allows those who create to undertake a journey towards the center of their own Self.
Through creative experiences, we can introduce children and adults to the beauty of Harmony and above all the existence of a marvelous order present in the Universe, in Nature and in ourselves.
Numbers, geometries, colors and sound vibrations are thought forms that replace the use of words, act on the spiritual level and through the Mandala become an overview allowing the ideas to become more and more complex creative levels.
The symmetrical shape of the Mandala, with its circular repetition of patterns is a "Mantra" and allows people to reach a state similar to meditation.

From Friday 15 to Sunday 17 March, children can participate in the workshops to create their Mandala together with artists, family and friends.

Materials to create the Mandalas available at the stand.

Ilaria Gaccetta, finds inspiration from the alternation of civilizations on our planet, from the desires of men, collects ancestral memories from the collective consciousness and tracks cosmic maps. Use acrylic and ink colors, watercolors and gold leaf.
Artist of training and vocation, he participates in exhibitions on the national territory with his series Atlantis and Mandala.

Fabrizio Ferracin, fascinated by the structures of Nature, symmetries, circular shapes and spirals expressed and painted in his Mandala, trying to transmit the respect that Man should bring towards Creation and its life cycles. He studies, elaborates and reinterprets the concept of Golden Section and Spiral and the mathematical-geometrical relationships present in Nature and in Us, recalling and inspiring the birth date, numbers, shapes, colors, frequencies and personal musical notes.
He has always participated in exhibitions and competitions, organizes conferences to communicate his artistic research and proposes "Crea-action" Mandala Workshops for children, adults and families.
