Flora - pencil drawing

Flora
Pencil on paper
50 x 64 cm

The compositional base for this drawing was the "flower of life", which you can see reappearing and deforming shapes along its linear structure. The flower of life is well known and recognized geometric symbol in sacred geometry, which represents the cycle of life. It is a shape found in antient cultures around the world from China to Ireland, to Egypt, to India.
I decided to compliment the basic floral structure with theme of the same character. The floral burst is placed to be appearing from figure's third eye chakra region, and the leafy burst is located on the throat chakra region.
It is done in pencil, and with the help of a divider. I was indecisive about adding the color, but in the end decided to leave this piece to be as it is.

All photographs are taken by me. The art piece is recorded with Nikon D5600 and lens AF-P,NIKKOR,18 - 55mm1:35-5.6G
