Second Ascent: The Art of Yunus Safardiar in Kazakhstan

This episode explores the artistic philosophy and work of Yunus Safardiar, a globally acclaimed sculptor known for his Second Ascent series, which delves into the challenges and progress of contemporary humanity. Safardiar sees art as boundaryless, believing any object can become art and that traditional roles in art have faded. His works, often large and multimedia, aim to convey hope, beauty, and kindness, integrating modern technology with the support of engineers and designers. He draws inspiration from a blend of cultural experiences from his childhood across diverse regions, which influences his art's unique, often oriental style. Currently exhibiting in Kazakhstan for the first time, Safardiar is captivated by the country's culture and people and hints at creating a piece inspired by it. His art, evolving with technological advances, seeks to connect with audiences worldwide, achieving harmony, balance, and justice through this creative synergy.
