Photomandalas – Spiritual Images
Milan Fano Blatny
The prints are made completely by hand, they have never seen a computer. I believe this way I can keep the energy of the prints. The photomandalas are real photographs. I invented the technic to make these prints by multiexposing the paper in the darkroom. It is necessary to be absolutly concentrated, when I create the prints in the darkroom. It is a kind of ritual for me. It is like a contemplation. I use only my own medium format negatives 6x6 cm shot with Rolleiflex or Hasselblad.
The more you look at the image, the more you see.
New worlds, new levels are dominy up from the centre of the picture – and you can go deeper and deeper inside the image.
In the image, there is no up, no down, no left, no right, no past, no future, everything is in the very present moment, when you view the image. Just unity. The circle with no beginning, neverending. Inner peace…
The prints are selenium toned gelatin silver prints on fiber based paper, two editions: size 19x19 inches, edition of 20, and size 30x30 inches, edition of 3.
I am happy to share my images with others. May peace prevail on Earth.
