I’m A Land Artist And I Make Mandalas From The Seasonal Materials I Find On My Walks (29 Pics)
My name is Tamas Kanya from Budapest, Hungary. I've been creating what you would call mandala compositions on the riverbank near my house in Budapest.
I thoroughly enjoy the creative process that includes gathering materials on my walk down to the river Danube. I only use naturally occurring seasonal items: plants, flowers, seeds, acorns, pinecones, shells, pebbles, leaves, etc. I pick up everything that's available, in the immediate environment, where I create my pieces and always try to make something new, something unique.
To me, this is a meditative, relaxing hobby in a beautiful environment and it gives me joy to spend time there.

I never considered foxtails pretty until right now; however, I do love running them through my thumb and first finger when they’re still green.
Running them through your fingers makes me think of my childhood, happy playing in the field by myself. I think a field with open golden foxtails moving in a breeze is beautiful, but horrible when walking through it and all the seed awns get stuck in your clothes

Очень понравилась ваша работа.Занимаюсь печворком и хочу сделать ваш рисунок из ткани
The tiny cacti are so cute. My late grandmother kept a small cactus garden in her backyard, including one very tall cacti that was at least nine feet tall by the time she died.
They're not cacti but either the central head of a flower (like gaillardia) or a green immature seed cluster. Still, amazing to hear about your grandma's tall cactus!

They're the papery covers of Chinese lanterns seed pods.

Where does she find so many shells??!! Along the Danube, or does she save the shells after each mandela is made? They're all so clean and white too.
What are the big brown puffs being used as the middle of the “daisies”?

The small round green seeds(?) in the middle are such an intense green. I wonder what they are.

I'm so curious where she found all the many clean evenly sized shells along a riverbank. I'm guessing the Danube isn't like the rivers I've been around. There are only two things different I'd like. The first is I wish the photos were in sharper focus. The second is I'd love to see some with more colours and not all basically monochromatic. (But that's just me and not the artists choice which is perfectly fine!)
I’m inspired for the next time I go on a walk (when it’s not raining)
