Winners of art competition awarded in Kyrgyz Republic

The results of an art competition were announced in the capital of the Kyrgyz Republic. Artists presented over 230 works in various categories, including fine arts, decorative and applied arts, sculpture, and graphics. According to the organizers, the competition featured artists of various ages, with the oldest participant being 90 years old. The artworks reflected the history of the independent country and depicted prominent figures who played significant roles in establishing Kyrgyz statehood. The younger generation showcased their ceramic works made from natural clay, including 20-year-old Aidana Beishenbayeva, a National Academy of Arts student.

«These are ceramic vases that I created over a period of about five months. The process begins with developing an idea and making sketches, and only then does the actual work start. I prepare the clay and then create patterns that hold specific meanings. They are ethnic Kyrgyz patterns, which were once part of our language. These are our letters, and I specifically used them along with patterns symbolizing wind, water, and waves,» shared Aidana Beishenbayeva, student of the National Academy of Arts.
