AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Painted sides.
Size: 50 x 40 x 2 cm
Protected with matte varnish.
Hand-signed on the reverse.
Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Sold unframed.
Style: Contemporary Geometric Symbolism

About the artwork:
This work continues the artist's exploration of the "Digital Soul," a theme first introduced in the painting "Architect of Consciousness" (now in a private collection, Switzerland).

While the Architect examined how the external world—data, digital structures, geometry—constructs the human facade, "Internal Alchemy" turns its gaze inward. It is a study of the turbulent, beautiful process unfolding behind the walls we have built.

In her signature style of Contemporary Geometric Symbolism, the artist fragments the portrait not as an act of destruction, but as revelation. Each geometric facet represents a fragment of memory, character, or fate. We witness the alchemy firsthand: the cool, "nocturnal" realm of analysis (on the left) gives birth to a golden idea, which descends like a catalyst into the warm, expressive chaos of emotion (on the right). The vertical axis is not a barrier, but a permeable membrane—a threshold through which truth seeps through. While engaging with Cubism's legacy—Picasso's fragmentation of form—Pokhoday turns it inward, deconstructing not the external world, but the architecture of the "Digital Soul" itself.

This work marks a bold step deeper into Lana's new conceptual universe, a movement from the structure of thought to the fluidity of feeling. It is a meditation for those who seek synthesis, a reminder that our darkness and our light are not opposites, but one.

· Exhibition History:
· Current: February 2026 — Group exhibition at Galerie Le Chien d'Or, Quebec, Canada (featured works: "Guardian del faro", "When the Trees Fall Silent", "El Silencio del Portador").
· Publications: Featured on the opening pages of Visual Art Journal (February 2025).
· Market Performance: The artist has a proven record of successful auction sales across Europe.

Why This Piece is Unique:
"Internal Alchemy" is a natural evolution of the themes first explored in "Architect of Consciousness". Like its predecessor, this painting is a premier release from the artist's studio—it has never been publicly exhibited or published. It offers serious collectors the rare opportunity to acquire a work that deepens and expands the conceptual universe of the "Digital Soul" at the very moment of its creation.

Shipping:
The painting will be securely packaged, insured, and shipped with tracking.

Colors may vary slightly depending on screen settings.
