Tanvi Parekh is a contemporary Indian pointillism and mandala artist based in Pune,
Maharashtra. Born and raised in Vadodara, Gujarat—widely known as the cultural and
artistic heart of the state—her artistic journey is deeply rooted in the
intersection of art,
spirituality, healing, and human consciousness.
She holds a Master’s degree from The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda and has
an
extensive academic and professional background in human development, women and child
welfare, health, and community outreach. Over the years, she has worked with
organizations
including UNICEF, UNFPA, and Population Council, conducting research and
intervention
programs focused on social well-being and emotional health. These experiences
profoundly
shaped her understanding of human emotions, inner healing, and the transformative
role of
creativity.
Working primarily in intricate pointillism and mandala-inspired techniques, Tanvi
creates
artworks composed of thousands of meticulously hand-painted dots. Her visual
language
combines contemporary aesthetics with sacred geometry, meditative repetition,
traditional
motifs, and symbolic color theory. Through this layered process, her works become
both
contemplative experiences and visual narratives that explore the unseen connections
between
the body, mind, energy, and the cosmos.
A defining aspect of her practice is the spiritual intention embedded within the
making of
each artwork. While painting every dot, she chants “OM,” the universal cosmic sound
believed to symbolize creation, consciousness, and unity. This meditative process
transforms
her paintings into immersive spaces of calmness, positivity, and introspection. Her
work
draws inspiration from concepts of cosmic energy, chakras, healing frequencies, and
mandalas as symbolic representations of harmony and the universe.
Tanvi’s artistic exploration also extends into sacred geometry and healing mandalas,
inspired
by Hindu and Buddhist traditions where mandalas function as symbols of meditation,
spiritual balance, and inner awakening. Through vibrant color palettes and rhythmic
patterns,
she invites viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with their inner worlds.
Her works have been exhibited at prestigious galleries and are part of private
collections in
India and internationally. A significant milestone in her artistic journey was the
inclusion of
one of her handcrafted pointillism artworks in the Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum,
selected by
the Honourable President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu—an honour that recognizes
both
artistic excellence and cultural significance.
Beyond her studio practice, Tanvi is the founder of “Tanu’s ARTh Art Academy,” an
initiative dedicated to promoting inclusive creativity and artistic exploration for
individuals
across all age groups. As a certified art and movement therapy practitioner, she
strongly
believes in art as a powerful medium for healing, self-discovery, emotional
expression, and
human connection.
For her, art is not merely visual expression—it is a meditative practice and a journey inward.
Through millions of carefully placed dots, layered patterns, and spiritual
symbolism, she
creates immersive works that radiate rhythm, stillness, positivity, and wonder,
encouraging
viewers to discover beauty and meaning within themselves.

Artist Statement
“From blank to beauty! Just when I think it can’t get any prettier, then comes more and more layers of dots.”
Every artwork I create is a meditation in motion. Each dot carries intention, rhythm, energy, and silence. My
practice is deeply inspired by sacred geometry, mandalas, cosmic energy, and the healing relationship between
colors, patterns, and consciousness.
Through repetitive dotting and chanting OM while painting, I transform the canvas into a space of stillness and
connection. I want my artworks to evoke peace, positivity, introspection, and emotional balance — allowing viewers
to experience not only visual beauty, but also a deeper inner resonance.
My art is an invitation to slow down, look inward, and rediscover the quiet wonder that exists within us all.

colors and intricate patterns representing the complexity of human emotions and spiritual energy. The artwork
expresses the belief that true power comes from within and encourages viewers to embrace their resilience and
creative spirit.
Seeds of the Cosmos
n Seeds of the Cosmos series, the timeless geometry of the Flower of Life, Seed of Life are brought to life through
the meditative rhythm of dot work — each dot placed like a star across the dark vastness of space.
This sacred form, known across cultures as a symbol of creation, reflects the underlying structure of the universe —
from the spin of galaxies to the patterns of cells. With every circle interwoven, the artwork becomes a quiet hymn
to cosmic unity, sacred symmetry, and the infinite cycle of life.
Each dot represents more than pigment — it is a pulse of energy, a moment in time, a seed of the cosmos. Together,
they form a visual mantra that invites contemplation and connection with the greater whole.
Here, the universe is not distant.
It is intimate, unfolding inward and outward, reminding us:
“You are not separate from the stars —
you are part of the pattern.
You are a dot in the divine.”
The Shree Yantra (also spelled Sri Yantra or Shri Chakra) is one of the most important sacred geometric symbols in
Hindu spiritual traditions, especially in Sri Vidya worship. It is considered a visual representation of the cosmos,
divine energy, and the union of masculine and feminine principles.
Structure of the Shree Yantra
The diagram is made from several interconnected geometric layers. Nine interlocking triangles, Four upward-pointing
triangles symbolize: Shiva, masculine energy, consciousness and Five downward-pointing triangles symbolize: Shakti,
feminine energy,creation and power
Their intersections create 43 smaller triangles, believed to represent different aspects of existence and
consciousness. The tiny center dot is called the Bindu. It represents: the source of creation,pure awareness and
unity of all existence.
Birds in pointillism art
Jewel-toned birds rests delicately upon a winding branch, suspended against sky textured like rain-kissed stone.
Their bodies glows with vibrant shards of turquoise, violet, sapphire, yellow and ember-orange, each section
bordered in tiny golden beads that shimmer like stitched sunlight.
The raised dotted texture gives the piece a tactile rhythm, as though every mark was patiently placed heartbeat by
heartbeat. Around the birds, tender green leaves unfurl softly, offering a gentle contrast to the darkness and
whiteness behind them. The artwork feels both playful and regal — a fusion of folk art, mosaic, and celestial
ornamentation — capturing not only the likeness of a hummingbird, but its spirit: delicate, radiant, and alive with
motion even in stillness.
