The “Tree of Life Series” is the earliest expression of Oryan’s self-discovered “Liquid Fusion” technique. In a complex world of constant interactions and demands, Oryan wishes to show the viewer a life pared down to one entity - one tree.  Since all of us share the same basic form, it is our personal experiences which set us apart and define our individuality.  If one thinks of a forest as the essence of humanity, Oryan is pulling each tree out of that forest one at a time and painting it as one unique life.  Perhaps your life.  Each tree is meant to represent personal growth (choices) and experience; the various paths taken as we forge ahead in life.  Sometimes the movement is straight up with steadfast ambition, sometimes gently twisting, but regardless of the shape, we move on with undeniable life energy.  Oryan wants each tree to symbolize these vast and varied aspects of a life in one single, mesmerizing image – the tree.

A Tree can also be a singular symbol of our family and loved ones.  We shade each other, we grow together, and we create future generations.  Each tree is unique and magical just as every family has its own individuality and presence. So whether viewed as one person, or one family, the “Tree of Life” is meant to define and inspire.

Some very esoteric free-thinkers believe that the Earth is a self-regulating, conscious entity where everything interconnects and constantly interacts to keep the planet growing and functioning.  This theory is called Gaia (guy-ah).  And it is the inspiration for Oryan’s “Gaia Series”; a suite of paintings that brings nature, wildlife and the human figure together in a beautiful, artistic fashion. These paintings are a natural progression from the “Tree of Life Series” in that with the “Gaia Series” you will see various individual elements of this world mysteriously connect in magical proximity, creating an incredible sense of the possible and the unknown.

Oryan’s “Gaia Series” is the most technically demanding of his paintings.  Often working from a live model as inspiration, Oryan must make subtle shifts in the form and seamlessly transition the figure into the surrounding naturalistic elements. Creative and magical, the “Gaia Series” offers us all a visual symbol of transformation and natural energy.

These paintings in turn developed out of the Gaia Series and go full circle back to the concept of a world of trees, the forest, an environment resonating with vibrancy and life.  The “Network Series” paintings are designed to represent and revisit this interconnectedness of our lives.  Looking into the deep layers of paint, one can imagine the endless patterns and movements of humanity and nature overlapping through space and time.  Oryan wants us to look at it as the network, the fiber; the web….and encourages the viewer not to seek out specific shapes and figures amid the abstract, but instead, to consider the entire world.  The “Network Series” is the cumulative design of life pulsing in and out, our individual lives overlapping and sewn together in a cosmic patchwork.
