At an altitude of over 3,000 meters in Shymbulak, the
world’s largest high-altitude mural was unveiled to mark the 80th anniversary
of the United Nations (UN). The artwork, measuring 36 by six meters, was
created by Kazakh artist Adil Aubekerov. The composition follows the principle
of kurak korpe (patchwork quilt) and reflects motifs of nomadic culture. The
ornament features Tamgaly petroglyphs, solar symbols, and mythical creatures. The
project brings together Kazakh heritage and global ideas of sustainable
development.
