Chakravyuh - A Labyrinth

Decades ago, back in school, we used to doodle a labyrinth. I thought it would make a cool painting. A bit stark and monochromatic but intriguing, nevertheless. All I needed to do was to figure out a way to draw a geometrically defined version of it.

After a bit of analysis, I figured out the various arcs to be drawn. This was done in a CAD program (TurboCAD) and saved as SVG. Then I used GIMP to rasterise it. This allows me to scale it to any resolution. I chose a 3200 x 3200 pixel image. This was reproduced on an 88 cm acrylic on glass print from the Canvas Art Factory.
