About us
Hello!
I'm Drika Araujo, the creator of Mandala by Drika!
Mandala by Drika was born from the idea of creating a conscious and authentic brand. This is a space where you can find products with printed mandalas, all of which are hand-drawn by me.
Mandalas are circular diagrams with patterns of geometric, abstract, or floral elements that expand infinitely outwards. They have spiritual symbolism for Buddhists and Hindus who often use different and ancient techniques to draw them as a tool for concentration and meditation.
I enjoy meditating and everything related to yoga, and mandalas have always been present in my life in some way. I've always liked coloring mandalas, but I'd never dared to draw them because I didn't think I was capable.
One day, very spontaneously and intuitively, during the pandemic in 2020, I picked up a piece of paper and a pencil and started drawing, and that's how my first mandala was born! From that moment on, I began to draw constantly and express my feelings about events that had happened to me through mandalas. I understood that the beauty of the patterns created, even with their imperfect lines, led me to observe the paths of life, which, even with their crooked curves, show us the beauty of life as it truly is.
After being amazed by what I had just created, I felt an uncontrollable urge to keep drawing more and more. Over the years, I refined my strokes and found my own way of drawing mandalas while immersing myself in deep states of introspection. After listening to countless suggestions from friends and family, I decided to create my own shop with a variety of products to cater to different tastes.
Upon entering our shop page, you'll have the opportunity to connect with a community dedicated to seeking and sharing information about health and wellness through our blog. When you purchase our products, you take home an item crafted with quality materials and featuring artwork conceived in an intuitive and meditative way.
What's so special about my mandalas?
Each mandala is unique and exclusive, hand-drawn in black and white or color on white or black paper and then printed on t-shirts, bags, cushions, and other items. The print preserves the real, imperfect lines of authentic handmade art. No digital techniques are used to refine the mandala's lines.
I spent a considerable amount of time researching suppliers that provide quality organic cotton products, so that I could offer you a product that is not harmful to your health or the environment, following a more natural lifestyle possible and compatible with my own lifestyle.
