My name is Martin Klabunde. I am passionate about life and embracing all the learning opportunities life has to offer. I believe that happiness is an inside job and our inner wisdom guides us to that place where we feel whole and where we know we are connected.
The Mandala (Sanskrit for “circle”) is an ancient artform and an artistic representation of higher thought that reflects this inner knowing and it embodies our journey of becoming. The unfolding of the mandala is symbolic and reflects our own journey as we learn more about who we are, where we are going and how we are going to get there.
My creations are hand drawn. I use primarily black ink, alcohol markers, colored pencils and graphite.
My inspiration comes from the letting-go of internal and external expectations and the flow state of just being in the present moment; that place where time ceases to exist and we are free from all that defines us. Creativity has always been a part of my life. We are all connected. Connection and connectivity are themes present throughout most of my visual art. I believe connection is at the heart of creation. I hope my designs inspire you to look inward, listen deeply and move forward with an inner knowing that all is well, and that you are loved, unique and divine.
