Discover the calming power of the flow state.
We all know flow, even if we don't yet know what to call it: that blissful state of absorption, when you're so engaged with what you're doing that you don't notice the time passing. Psychologists now know that this still, almost meditative, state, brings us a host of mental health benefits: balance, tranquility, and less stress.
Jigsaw puzzling is an easy way to find this state, which is one of the reasons that they have boomed so dramatically in recent years. With the first of her 1000-piece Flow puzzles, Elin Svensson uses gently harmonious colour gradients to create a calming mandala that will captivate the puzzler, and take them on a gentle journey to a place of calm.
Elin Svensson's playful and harmonious illustrations show off her command of colour, texture and form. Aimed at the head and the heart, these sophisticated combinations of tone and gradient have won her clients like adidas, Apotek Hjartat, The Business of Fashion, Facebook, The Financial Times, Grafik Magazine, the Guardian, IKEA, Stockholms Kulturfestival, Sveriges Stadsmissioner, Systembolaget, The Wall Street Journal and Zeit Wissen. She lives in Stockholm, Sweden.
