The Art of Meaning-Making

Grishanti

GRISHANTI HOLON BRATENKOV
Metamodern visionary artist based in Dubai. Co‑founder and Chief Culture & Creative Officer of the forthcoming Global Earth Safety Center (GESC). He merges sacred art and integral philosophy into immersive visual, sculptural, architectural, and multimedia forms in which archetypes, technology, and the poetics of holistic being converge. A Zen Art ’21 winner and Talent of Russia ’19 laureate, he has shown work at Saatchi Gallery (London), Art in Space and Mondoir (Dubai), Focus Art Fair (New York), and Superlative Gallery Bali, as well as at key historic Russian art venues. He co‑organized the Integral Art NFT Conference and MetaEcoForum and has produced dozens of large‑scale arts‑and‑culture events; his ideas have been featured by Fortune, The New York Times, and Der Spiegel. In recent years, he played an active role in developing Nuanu Creative City (Bali) as creative director of Nuanu Gate project - a site‑specific, cross‑cultural portal framing passage between worlds and epochs.
G = (A × M) + J[P → F] dt × H⁴
Personal equation of being: G — Grishanti A — Artistic Modalities: the set of artistic forms (visual arts, architecture, sculpture, multimedia, performance, curation, narrative, text, spatial design). M — Metaperspective: the ability to look from the metasystem, from the archetype of the prophet-sun, holon, visionary. J[P → F] dt — the integral of continuity in time: from P (Past — roots, traditions, mythology) to F (Future — meta-vision, scenarios of becoming) through dt (movement in time, the actualization in the Now). H⁴ — Holistic Humanistic Harmonic Heuristic: four principles I infuse into my work.
