"Irbis Snow leopard animalistic winter acrylic mountain landscape" Painting

Feruza Turlybek - a self-taught artist. I was born and live in Shymkent, Kazakhstan.
I am the type of person who needs to express themselves on a daily basis. Having tried myself in many areas, I realized that my favorite way to express my emotions and thoughts is painting, which I finally returned to in 2018. And I made the right choice, because the first sign I received was the purchase of my painting a month after I started painting. The second sign was the sale of my painting abroad. Now 58 of my portraits are in private collections in Kazakhstan and abroad. My most effective sales resources are my Instagram page and my shops in online galleries. I have studied two foreign languages in university, in 2016 I studied in Spain, Cadiz and at the moment I can speak 5 languages which makes it easier for me to communicate and effectively work with a large number of art lovers and artists all over the world.

I find life itself inspiring, especially people and their emotions, therefore I like to paint portraits most of all. I see each person in certain colours, so I never limit my style to a certain colour palette. I always make the choice of the colour palette depending on the character and in the colors that I see in him/her and the story behind them. Ideas for paintings come to me every day. Every idea is something that has come to my mind many times, something that I've been thinking about lately, that I've liked lately and that I've found beautiful. I combine them all, and this is what gives rise to the plots of my paintings. In my work, I like to use acrylic and oil paints and also adore texture paste and gold leaf.

Through my paintings I share my emotions, experiences and thoughts that I am experiencing at the moment. Through them, I want you to feel that you are not alone. Give you what you lack to move on, fill you with desire and energy. It is normal to experience different emotions throughout life, and even in the most negative ones, you can find something good for you, something that will benefit you, something that will become your tool for achieving your happiness.
