An Interview with Lico's Collection
Author of A Complete Guide to Artistic Mandala Designs for Relaxation
Early Influences
From Law & Business to Mindful Art
Lico's Collection: I spent decades in high-pressure legal and executive roles. Achievement felt rewarding—until it didn't. At 58, I stepped away, accepted a quiet clerical job, and finally had space to breathe. That simplicity reopened the door to creativity.
Discovering the Mandala
Lico's Collection: I grew up staring at stained-glass rose windows and temple floors without knowing they were mandalas. Later, during reflective sketching sessions, I realised those circles anchored me in calm. Combining that feeling with formal mindfulness practice became the foundation of the book.
A Book for Every Generation
Lico's Collection: Absolutely. I wanted toddlers with crayons, stressed teenagers, busy parents, and contemplative grandparents to share one creative tool. Each page offers breathing cues, journaling prompts, and weekly rituals so families can slow down and reconnect together.
Unexpected Rewards
Lico's Collection: The multigenerational response. Grandparents send photos of coloring sessions with grandkids; teachers report calmer classrooms; parents say bedtime is easier. A simple circle filled with color has become a shared sanctuary, far beyond what I imagined.
Life Lessons in Simplicity
Lico's Collection: The shift taught me that peace isn't produced; it's allowed. Every exercise in the book reflects that philosophy: no pressure for perfection, only an invitation to be present with yourself and those you love.
Closing Thought
Lico's Collection: Inner peace isn't somewhere you travel—it's something you create, patiently and lovingly, one breath or one colored line at a time.
