Our History

Our History

The ARCPROSPECT International Foundation was established by artist and architect Paul N. Poloz for the display of what he considers to be representative selections of his life’s work and the work of his talented and creative friends.
The broad scope of P. Poloz’s work includes his research of the history and culture of Native Americans, Asian religious cultures and art, and Eastern Orthodox cultures and art.

His interests also encompass the study of a healing power of Nature that greatly presented in the Ancient herbal medicine, Eastern Asian medicine, and their knowledge and healing practices.
All of this and much more have encouraged him to establish a private foundation to preserve his work and perpetuate the legacy of his artistic and spiritual vision.

Paul Poloz’s signature practice spans the mediums of arts, sculpture, installation, architecture, and landscape. In his artwork Paul explores the dramatic aspects of human history, the spiritual depth of existence, and the exploration of consciousness, the mystery of human nature. He explores the crisis of Western culture, medicine, philosophy, and religion, juxtaposing and analyzing ancient spiritual worldviews and values of East and West.
Paul was born in Belarus in 1963 and moved to the United States in 1988. He lived in Chicago area till 2026. In 2000, he founded the architectural studio; in 2004 he build his private art studio, and in 2009, he established a private, nonprofit, the ARCPROSPECT International Foundation with the aim that the foundation’s work reflects his and his friend’s mission, vision and will continue with the implementation of his cultural, artistic, educational, and charitable programs and projects.

Our Views

A culture without sacred foundations and without spiritual symbolism is not culture; art without beauty and without a sacred feeling of the great mystery of Life is not art; religion without spiritual life, spiritual practice, and the experience of enlightenment is not religion. We work in three spheres of human creativity, through which we want to best influence the people around us.

Art

The central point of our mission is to encourage a deeper understanding of the true meaning and purpose of art. Through this understanding, artists will seek a new approach and way of expression. Art shall become the language of inner revelation and a manifestation of beauty of divine culture. Writing and painting, music and dance, meditation and prayer, and art of living – all those great arts – will serve to help many people to be aware, to awaken and to be spiritually transformed.

Culture

We in the search of new spiritual culture. The living presentation of great spiritual culture will change the contemporary paradigm of culture from a destructive one to a peaceful one; from a senseless, objectified, idolized, and egocentric culture to a spiritual, selfless, conscious, and transformative one that will serve humanity and to all the living world.

THE SPIRITUAL
AWAKENING OF MAN.

To find his inner self, man shall be aware of what is not self. The definition of the essence of his own being will lead him to an understanding of the essence of life. The full awareness of life will free man from all illusions and lies created by his/her mind. Therefore, our intention is to discover a new breakthrough in which the inner awakening and transformation of human nature and its unknown creative potential will take place.
