Nurlan Yestay

I am an artist and designer. I work as a graphic designer in the advertising and printing industry. At the same time, I have continuously pursued my personal creative path in painting and graphic art.

My work is deeply inspired by nature. The ever-changing sky, the majesty of the mountains, the fire of sunsets and sunrises, the blooming and fading of trees, the pristine purity of snow — all these phenomena reveal to me the endless harmony and wholeness of the world. Through my art, I express joy and gratitude for the opportunity to witness this beauty — it is my way of reflecting on the wonders of existence.

I love to “play” with His Majesty, Color: each new shade has the power to change the mood of a scene, filling it with new meanings and unexpected emotions. For me, this is a true pleasure and an ongoing journey of exploration.
