“Awen”

Gallery’s Perspective:
*“Awen” by Zhazyra Mertenova embodies illumination and spiritual awakening—a powerful connection to higher forces. This painting is a metaphor for those rare but profound moments when one feels deeply aligned with the cosmos and nature, with the soul filled with light and inspiration.

Drawing from Celtic tradition, where Awen was symbolized by the first rays of sunlight at dawn during the summer solstice, Mertenova translates this sacred energy onto canvas. Crafted with gold leaf and textured paste, this 2021 piece radiates both spiritual depth and artistic brilliance, making it an extraordinary addition to any collection.*
