These entrancing colourful symmetrical patterns are the work of Romanian graphic artist Ania Greog. Greog’s work was first inspired by mandalas, which she discovered through the work of Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. Ania started to experiment and develop her individual graphic style during her studies in psychology at university. Patternbank love the way she plays with intricate geometric forms to create a powerful mix of colour and pattern. See more of her work on her tumblr site.
