Roses on the table Painting

Hi, I'm a self-taught emerging artist from Kazakhstan, driven by a lifelong passion for art and beauty. Although I loved drawing since early childhood and had a natural inclination for it, my artistic journey truly began only in my early forties—after I made a bold decision to leave a long career in banking and finally follow my creative calling. Throughout my life, I found joy in making things by hand. I sewed clothes, baked cakes (quite well, I must say), and even redesigned furniture for my home. But painting remained my secret dream for many years—something I deeply longed to do but never fully allowed myself to pursue. That changed one day after watching a short video on YouTube. I picked up a pencil and started drawing portraits of celebrities—and couldn’t stop. Eventually, I discovered oil painting, and it completely captured my heart. I believe in the power of beauty to uplift, soothe, and inspire. My art is not about politics or social commentary—my mission is simple: to bring beauty into the world, starting with my own and hopefully yours. If my work speaks to you, I’ll be truly happy.
