Saken Narynov: An Artist with a Philosopher’s MindSaken Narynov is a unique master whose creative genius has found expression in many scientific and applied fields. An internationally recognised sculptor and researcher, an architect who has entered the top twenty architects of the world, whose work emerged at the intersection of art, architecture, engineering, mathematics and ancient mythology. His efforts - artistic and scientific - were directed towards comprehending the laws of existence, understanding the patterns and hidden nature of phenomena, exploring the world and the human being within it, while his passion for the exact sciences, the study of mathematics, topology and astrophysics paradoxically revealed the essential unity of infinitely small and large forms, such as the molecule and the galaxy. Purely speculative concepts acquire incredible visual incarnations in the artist's interpretation.Ekaterina Reznikova#Architecture & Urban Environment#Ideas & Analysis
