About me

My artistic practice weaves together the traditions of Kazakh culture with contemporary 

explorations of identity, memory, and independence.

With a background in architecture and interior design, I developed a strong foundation in color, 

form, and spatial composition. Over time, however, my focus shi￾ed toward a more emotional and 

intuitive approach to painting.

Working primarily in oil on canvas, I aim to express not only visual impressions but also layered 

emotions, personal re￾ections, and collective memory.

My inspirations o￾en come from historical literature, traditional symbols, and visual archives that 

explore the rich heritage of the Kazakh people. Each piece is a slow, thoughtful process — evolving 

from loose sketches into textured, symbolic canvases that engage in a visual dialogue with history 

and spirit.
