Unveiling the Colors of Life: Karina Herrera Orozco’s First Solo Exhibition

Tweet

Karina Herrera Orozco, a visionary artist focusing on Mandala art, is set to unveil the magic of mandala through her first solo exhibition, Colors of Life, taking place at the Gateway Gallery on June 28 - July 12, 2025.

The word "mandala" originated from India. It’s a Sanskrit word, meaning “circle”. The word also carries deeper spiritual and symbolic meanings, particularly in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, where it represents wholeness, unity, and the universe. It is widely used in English to present a geometric design or pattern.

For Karina, painting is more than an artistic pursuit – it is a meditative practice where its spiritual energy is felt by the viewers, inviting them to a portal to peace. The process of creating each art piece demands time but it allows the passionate artist the opportunity to free-handedly design unique patterns.

This surprisingly unique collection is expected to captivate art lovers as it features her brand of intricate mandala patterns which she hand-painted on wood. Using only acrylic paint, craft mirrors, rhinestones, brush, and her delicate dots, Karina brings to life a vibrant and multi-dimensional collection that pleases the eyes and touches the soul.

Karina’s Mandala art show will be an immersive experience, featuring the exquisite balance and creativity that defines her masterpieces. Admiring the fusion of color and symmetry, her audience will be engulfed with the feelings of harmony and mindfulness.

The “Colors of Life” exhibition opens to the public on June 29, serenely welcoming all art enthusiasts, collectors, and those seeking healing through art.
