Dancing Chaos in Urban Depths Painting

I am Darya Yashmetova, an experimental artist from Almaty (Kazakhstan), where I spent my childhood surrounded by the vibrant colors of the mountains and a rich tapestry of cultural influences. From a very young age, I was drawn to painting and sought new avenues of self-expression, blending various styles and techniques to convey my inner energy. In 2015, I tried the acrylic pour method for the first time, which introduced me to expressive color flows and spontaneous abstractions. Every new project is an opportunity to expand the boundaries of perception by working with oil and watercolor, as well as using a palette knife to create multidimensional textures. In 2017, I brought my inspiration to city streets by painting large-scale murals on building facades. I love the creative freedom that comes with seeing vivid colors and flowing lines come to life in an urban environment. At the same time, I continue to work with pencil and pastel sketches, capturing the lightness of initial outlines. In 2019, I delved deeper into combining classical and modern artistic techniques, striving to find harmony between form and content. In addition to my personal artwork, since 2020 I have been running a private art school, where I help children unlock their potential and discover their own style. Many of my students have stood out in the art world and received numerous prestigious distinctions, which motivates me to keep sharing my experience and seeking new forms of self-expression. In each of my works, I see a dialogue with the world, filled with fresh ideas that are born from the vibrant flow of paint and the freedom of imagination.
