Bolotbek Mambetov

Philosophy:

I love painting ballet. I have to draw ballet. Why? Because I am a connoisseur of ballet art. If not me then who?

I believe that once they will say that I was the best ballet painter ...

Brief autobiography:

I was born in Kyrgyzstan. Started drawing when he was 11 years old in boarding school studio of Fine Arts, where I would spend most of my time trying to escape from boring books of soviet school.

Thank you: the studio and my teacher; the smell of easels and friends from the studio; the world that we created on papers by stroking by charcoals and pencils; our hands smeared by clay and plasticine; big school and international exhibitions… I can’t put in words how much I’m grateful to that studio, where we honed our skills and high morals.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union I worked in many countries. For about 20 years I didn't paint and was engaging with dance only. Then I finally combined the painting with the choreography. Last few years I’m living and working in Antalya, Turkey.

I am a member of the Kyrgyz Union of Artists.
