THE ARTIST · LA ARTISTA
Hola & welcome, I'm Marcela Alfaro
I make art the way I learned to live — slowly, with full presence, dot by dot.
I'm a Colombian-born artist, world traveller, and forever student of the quiet places within. Through dot mandala art created in meditation, I offer something that goes beyond beauty: pieces that hold intention, carry energy, and invite whoever lives with them to pause, breathe, and come home to themselves.
My art is for those who want more than something beautiful to look at. It's for those who want something meaningful to live with.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN· EL ORIGEN
I was born in Colombia,
into a family of warmth, colour, and fierce love. From the very beginning, I was drawn to beauty — in people, in places, in the small moments that ask you to pay attention.
Colombia gave me my roots: a deep sense of belonging, a love of connection, and the courage to feel things fully. That same courage has carried me across the world — and back to myself, again and again.
THE TURNING POINT · EL PUNTO DE GIRO
Some journeys begin with a suitcase. Mine began with a diagnosis.
I have lived in many countries, collecting memories like others collect postcards.
Then London stopped me. A health issue came into my life — and with it, a kind of uncertainty I had never felt before. For a while, I lived with that feeling of not knowing where to go.
But over time, that uncertainty became my compass. It led me to Bali — a place I had always longed for — where I discovered self-healing.
It was a slow and delicate process that invited me to look within, and where I was fortunate to meet one of the most incredible healers, who supported me on my path to recovery.
From there, my journey continued to India, to the south of Goa, where I found a sense of warmth through the practice of yoga, surrounded by people, teachers, and guides who helped me return to myself, both physically and mentally.
And for the first time, I felt I was truly taking a step toward reconnecting with myself.
My body began to heal, my heart began to understand the true meaning of self-love so I could share it with others. I learned to recognize my breath as an anchor in every action, in every step I take in life. And although life is a constant learning process, I do my best to hold this awareness in my mind, my body, and my soul, so I can continue living a life that I truly love.
SELF LOVE · YOGA ︎ AMOR PROPIO
Yoga is the thread that runs through everything I do.
It is not a fitness practice for me — it is a way of listening, to the signals of the body, to the quiet longings of the heart, to the truth that lives beneath the noise.
Through years of practice and teaching, I have learned that the most important posture is presence. That the deepest stretch is the one that softens the spaces we have kept tight.
Yoga has shaped the way I paint, the way I breathe, and the way I connect with every person who comes into my life.
Create what you need to feel.
Along this path, I have continued to deepen my journey through different trainings:

AMASANA ART THERAPY · PAINTING THROUGH THE HEART
Where art becomes a quiet form of healing
AMASANA is more than a name. It is the essence of the artist.
It comes from the initials of Aida Marcela Alfaro and the word “asana,” referring to the yoga postures that have supported and shaped her process of transformation.
It is a living practice. Each mandala is a step that invites you to reconnect with your true essence and your own path — with whatever you wish to explore, transform, or feel in each moment.
You can find Marcela’s original work in her Etsy.com, or connect with her to co-create a personalized piece: something made for that special place where you meet yourself and give meaning to your space.
For those who feel a connection with this art, each season opens a limited number of spaces to create new pieces.
The collection · La Colección
Each mandala is born from Marcela’s personal meditation practice, where she shapes a deep meaning through color, numerology, sacred geometry, incense, candles, and in some cases, personalized mantras.
Each piece is original and unique, which means no replicas exist. Once created, it offers something truly one of a kind to the person who receives it.
Inspired by sacred places around the world — a beach in Goa, a sunset in Bali, a sunrise in New Zealand, the vast ocean in Australia, or a mountain in India — each mandala carries the energy of where and how it was created.
You can find them in Marcela's Etsy shop, ready to bring that stillness into your home, or connect with her to co-create a unique piece aligned with what you wish to express or transform.
