Steve passed away in 2021.
“Stephen Meakin — SEM — was a North European artist specialising in geometric paintings and mandala art. English-born, he explored ideas about abstract pattern as visual medicine, working across the traditions of oculi, mandala, sigil and yantra. His signature aesthetic is beautiful and powerful — mandala art paintings of such ethereal beauty that it is like viewing music in cross-section, with each mandala having its own number, rhythm, cadence and tone.
“As a skilful practitioner of Sacred Geometry, his artworks amplify the language of nature.”

His unique mandala art paintings celebrate the universe in all its awesome, radiant beauty — from snowflake to supernova, everything is connected in this art of visual henosis.
Among his most celebrated commissions was the 3.6-metre Arista SunStar, created for entrepreneur Camilla Fayed for the Farmacy restaurant in Notting Hill, London. Subtle in its Egyptian theme, the blooming Blue Lotus detail from Hathor Temple at Dendera is held within a broad sun collar of painted-jewelled faience beads, set in gold and bronze around a burning sun disc.
