Olzhas Issan

My art is an endeavor to visualize the intangible architectures of the human spirit and the energetic currents perceived through intuition. Following two decades in the corporate sphere, my return to painting manifested as an act of "internal alchemy." My practice of Kundalini Yoga fundamentally informs my perspective of the body-not as a static entity, but as a resonant vessel. This realization is central to my series of kinetic figures and meditative portraits.

Within my "internal architecture," I employ a multi-layered technique where the structural precision of design intersects with expressive deconstruction. Symbols-be it keys, totemic fauna, or the provocative inclusion of UFO motifs-serve as conduits for transitioning from the mundane into the realm of myth or trance. I explore liminal states: the threshold between the silence of meditation and the ecstasy of motion. My objective is to curate a space where the observer can confront their own enigma and unearth the keys to the concealed chambers of their perception.
