A turkmen proverb says: "He who has a horse has wings." This folk wisdom has its roots from ancient times, when in the myths and legends of the Turkic and Parthian people, the horse was perceived not just as an animal, but as a magical creature endowed with special abilities.
For many years, the Akhalteke horse breed has been studied by prominent scientists in our country and abroad, continuing to inspire representatives of creative professions to create works of art.
Ovezgeldi Yagmyrov glorifies the refined beauty, grace and nobility of the Akhalteke horses in his paintings. A graduate of the State Academy of Arts of Turkmenistan, he currently heads the Children's Art School named after Bashim Nurali.
His office is always filled with an atmosphere of creativity and hard work. Most of Ovezgeldi Danatarovich's works of art is dedicated to Akhalteke horses, which serve as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for him.
Coming from the city of Tejen in the Ahal velayat , the artist has felt a deep connection with the nature of his native land and its magnificent inhabitants since childhood. The master's brush often depicts endless expanses in which graceful animals seem to merge with nature, emphasizing that these "paradise" horses were born on this land.
Filled with dynamics and emotions, the portraits reflect the unique beauty of the Akhalteke horses. The artist pays attention to every detail - from the sparkling eyes to the expression that contains strength and tenderness. His works emphasize the physical beauty of the horses, their individuality and character.
Within the framework of the National Day of the Turkmen Horse, widely celebrated in our country, the artist, along with his colleagues, takes an active part in exhibitions, where his portraits find a response from viewers. According to art historians, such works of art are valuable not only as works of art, but also serve as an important contribution to the preservation of the cultural heritage of our people, contributing to the further development and popularization of the unique tradition associated with the turkmen horse.
