Solara – Original Hand-Drawn Mandala | The Auric Trilogy
Meet Solara — the second piece in The Auric Trilogy, a series of original hand-drawn ink mandalas created in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, by Maverick Creative artist Naomi Nicholas. The series explores light, energy, and the golden thread that connects all living things.
Where Aurelia radiates with the warmth of the sun, Solara burns with its full intensity. Bold rings of golden amber pulse outward from a luminous centre, framed by intricate layers of petals, scrolls, feathered forms, and botanical detail — every line drawn entirely by hand in ink over 40 hours of focused, meditative work. Up close, the detail is extraordinary. From a distance, it commands the room.
Features:
- Original one-of-a-kind hand-drawn ink mandala
- Artwork size: 290mm x 290mm
- Presented in a 400mm x 400mm grey wooden frame with glass front
- Grey and white double mount for a clean, gallery-quality finish
- Ready to hang straight from the box
- Signed by the artist
- Certificate of authenticity included
- Limited edition prints available separately in the future
Solara is the kind of piece that stops people mid-conversation. Whether it's the golden centre drawing the eye inward, or the sheer density of detail that reveals itself the longer you look, this mandala has a quiet, magnetic presence that transforms any wall it inhabits.
Part of The Auric Trilogy — a collectible series of three original mandalas united by their golden palette and meditative energy, all handcrafted in the Forest of Dean. Aurelia, the first piece in the series, is also available.

Frequently asked questions (that we know you're thinking)
"How long with it take to arrive?"
Ah, the age-old question. Our products aren’t mass-produced by robots in a warehouse the size of Wales. Nope — they’re lovingly crafted by real humans (with real caffeine addictions) in our Forest of Dean studio. That means:
Usually 3–5 working days to make your masterpiece. If it’s personalised, bespoke, or just plain fancy, it might take a smidge longer — but we’ll keep you posted.
Once it’s made, it’s handed over to the postal pixies. UK delivery typically takes 2–3 days. International delivery will take a bit longer (because oceans exist).
Drop us a message before ordering. We can sometimes work magic — but we’re fresh out of time machines.
While our website currently only supports UK shipping, we do welcome international orders! 🌎✨
Due to the complexities of overseas shipping and sales tax, we’re handling international orders manually for now. If you're outside the UK and would like to place an order, simply Contact Us and we’ll be happy to assist you directly.
We’re working hard behind the scenes to bring international shipping online in the New Year — so stay tuned!
Thanks for your patience and support 💛
Don’t worry — we’re not offended. (Much.)
If you’ve scrolled, clicked, zoomed, and squinted and still haven’t found the perfect product, it might be time to go rogue...
👉 Head over to our Custom Builds page and tell us what you really want. We love a challenge, and we’ve got the tools, the talent, and just enough caffeine to make it happen.
Whether it’s weird, wonderful, or wildly specific — we’re here for it.
