Sacred Geometry/ volume 95

Sacred Geometry exists at the intersection of art, mathematics, philosophy, and spirituality. It is both ancient and contemporary, rational and intuitive—a visual language that has travelled across civilizations, belief systems, and epochs, continuously re-emerging in new forms. In Collect Art Magazine, Special Edition Volume 95, we dedicate this issue to Sacred Geometry as a living artistic practice: one that investigates structure, harmony, and the invisible systems that shape both the universe and human perception.

Across cultures, geometric forms have been used to articulate ideas of order, balance, and interconnectedness. From prehistoric carvings and architectural plans to religious iconography and scientific diagrams, geometry has long served as a bridge between the material and the metaphysical. In this edition, international artists revisit these timeless forms—not as static symbols, but as dynamic tools for contemporary exploration. Their works ask how geometry can still speak meaningfully in a world shaped by fragmentation, acceleration, and constant change.

The artists featured in Volume 95 approach Sacred Geometry through diverse media and methodologies: drawing, painting, sculpture, mixed media, digital processes, and material experimentation. Some practices are rooted in meticulous precision and repetition, others in intuition, gesture, and embodied process. Together, they demonstrate that Sacred Geometry is not confined to strict rules or fixed symbolism, but operates as an open system—capable of holding contradiction, emotion, and personal narrative.

Within these pages, geometry appears as pattern and rhythm, as architecture and meditation, as structure and experience. Circles, spirals, grids, mandalas, and proportional systems such as the golden ratio recur throughout the works, yet no two interpretations are the same. For some artists, geometry becomes a language for spiritual inquiry or cosmological reflection; for others, it serves as a means of grounding, focus, and presence in the act of making. What unites them is an attentiveness to relationship—between parts and whole, centre and periphery, expansion and containment.

The artist statements included in this volume offer insight into how Sacred Geometry functions within each practice. Many artists describe geometry not as an external system imposed upon their work, but as something discovered through process—emerging through repetition, labour, and sustained observation. Geometry becomes experiential rather than symbolic, felt through time spent drawing, building, layering, and refining. This emphasis on process highlights Sacred Geometry as an embodied practice, one that requires patience, discipline, and a willingness to engage with complexity.

The personalised interviews deepen this dialogue, revealing how artists negotiate the balance between control and intuition, precision and imperfection. These conversations touch on questions of authorship, spirituality, science, and materiality, while also addressing the contemporary relevance of ancient visual systems. In a world increasingly mediated by digital abstraction, many artists speak of a return to hand-drawn methods, analogue tools, and tactile engagement as a way of reconnecting with slowness, attention, and human scale.

Importantly, this edition does not frame Sacred Geometry as a singular belief or aesthetic. Instead, it presents it as a plural field of inquiry—one shaped by individual experience, cultural context, and personal interpretation. Some works resonate with overt spiritual references; others remain deliberately ambiguous, inviting viewers to encounter geometry as sensation rather than doctrine. This openness allows Sacred Geometry to function as a shared ground, where viewers from different backgrounds can find their own points of entry.

At its core, Volume 95 asks why geometry continues to matter. Why do humans return, again and again, to circles, spirals, and grids? What do these forms offer in moments of uncertainty or transition? The works in this issue suggest that geometry provides more than visual order—it offers a way of thinking through relationship, continuity, and coherence. It reminds us that complexity can arise from simplicity, and that structure does not exclude mystery.

As you move through this special edition, we invite you to spend time with the works. Let the lines, patterns, and forms unfold gradually. Notice how perception shifts with attention, how repetition creates rhythm, how stillness emerges through complexity. Sacred Geometry does not demand immediate understanding; it rewards patience and presence.

Collect Art Magazine, Special Edition Volume 95, celebrates Sacred Geometry as both an ancient inheritance and a contemporary artistic language. By bringing together international artists whose practices span disciplines and perspectives, this volume affirms geometry as a site of ongoing exploration—where art becomes a meeting point between the visible and the unseen, the rational and the intuitive, the individual and the universal.
