EOS PHOS FINE ART

A large source of inspiration for Eos Phos is the science of cymatics. This is the study of geometric shapes created by sound vibrations. The term was coined by Hans Jenny, when he demonstrated that when the surface of a plate, diaphragm, or membrane is vibrated with sound, geometric designs are made visible in a thin coating of particles, such as sand, paste, or liquid.  Different patterns emerge depending on the tone or sound.

Just like cymatic shapes reflect a tone or a musical note,  Eos Phos' designs are a physical expression of the artist's balanced thoughts and emotions. Every piece is created in a meditative state  and drawn "freehand." No straight edges, rulers, or tools of any form are used while bringing each thought-form to life. The Eos Phos creative process includes only high-quality paper, inking utensils, and the artist's sharp eyes for each mandala.

The Shri Yantra is an ancient symbol with many meanings. To Hindus, the geometric shapes represent the cosmos and the human body. This is interesting because it is also the cymatic expression made by the sound "OM". Many ancient traditions knew of the transmutation experiences of sound, thought and geometry. Similar geometric figures have been used to achieve balance of the mind and to obtain spiritual truths throughout time. In a cymatic sense, mandalas reveal the symbiotic relationship of wave energy and sound vibrations structured in geometric form and artistic expression.

For thousands of years, mandalas have aided in meditation and the creation of sacred spaces with the infusion of their radial balance and symmetry. "Mandala" is the generic term for most circular shaped designs, however Eos Phos mandalas could also be considered to be a "yantra".  In Sanskrit, 'yantra' means machine or absorber of cosmic energy. Vedic scholars study their diverse mystical properties as they resonate with our solar system and act as a tuning fork that connects us to a universal consciousness.
Yantras represent the presence of the practitioner's focus of meditation through elaborate symbolic geometric expressions. Yantras have strong transformative benefits in many religious and philosophical traditions. For example, the depiction, concentration on,  or wearing of a yantra can emit a balancing energy in any space with their symmetric qualities.
