Myths and modernity of the Kazakh people - in digital painting. The first personal exposition of Almaty resident Zhanar Erlankyzy opened in Paris. The artist presented the main legends of the country of the Great Steppe in her style of fairy-tale illustrations. She gets her inspiration to create works from the research of famous historian and linguist Serikbol Kondybai. The artist delicately combines in the paintings the historical past with the present. The French public liked this kind of digital art.
“They liked, I think, the myth part because there is still a child in each of us; we all love to fantasize, look at pictures and see what we want to see. Therefore, I saw that many people were spending their time in the myth part, and also because I wrote a booklet with explanations of the paintings, it seems to me that it was convenient for them to come closer and touch,” said Zhaniya Yelubayeva, an exhibition curator.
