Make Life Beautiful

The City of Santa Clarita is proud to announce its latest art exhibition, “Make Life Beautiful” by Aaron Koscelansky on view at The MAIN (24266 Main Street) now through March 2, 2026.

“Make Life Beautiful” is a collection of intricate, psychedelic mandalas and geometric compositions designed to captivate the senses and encourage deep reflection. Each piece is hand-painted on canvas, ranging in size from small (6” x 6”) to large (36” x 48”), using acrylic, fluorescent, and UV-reactive paints. The artworks feature layered symmetry, vibrant color transitions, and hypnotic patterns that invite viewers into a meditative visual journey.

This exhibition explores the relationship between color, symmetry, and consciousness. Mandalas have long been symbols of unity and transformation, and this collection embraces that tradition while infusing it with a modern, psychedelic aesthetic. The use of fluorescent and UV-reactive paints adds an interactive dimension, allowing the works to shift and evolve under different lighting conditions. The pieces are designed to be uplifting and immersive, encouraging viewers to find moments of stillness and inspiration within the complexity of each design.
