Graduates of the Byashim Nurali Children's Art School in 2023 became participants of the exhibition, launched in the gallery of the State Academy of Arts of Turkmenistan.
For many children, studying at art school is a springboard to enter the world of great art. And their future fate depends on how much knowledge they have absorbed from their teachers. Therefore, the exhibition of works in such a prestigious place as the Academy of Arts has special significance for the aspiring artists.
Azat Alikhanov, representative of the Academy of Arts, Ovezgeldy Yagmyrov, director of the Children Art School, Yazmurat Pirkuliev, head teacher, Lyudmila Ulakina, honored worker of culture of Turkmenistan addressed parting words to the graduates at the opening ceremony. In their speeches, they urged graduates, despite the impending separation from the school, to remember that they are "nuralievs", and not to stop creating, to look for something new in the art.
As the exhibited works showed, the years spent at the art school were very fruitful for young authors. For example, Guljemal Seitlieva's painting "The Ancient Warrior". Guljemal managed to paint a portrait not just of warrior, but also to convey character through his expressive look.
Alisher Karajayev depicted in his painting the moment of an exciting struggle between athletes. And the viewer, seeing how the muscles of the wrestlers are strained to the limit, believes that one more moment and the opponent will be defeated.
An amazing portrait was presented by Gaigysyz Bekmuradov. Everyone will recognize Atageldy Garyagdyev in the portrait.
Sculptors also showed themselves well. Guvanchmurat Ataev presented an interesting work, sculpting a strong handshake of two palms. The originality of the idea and good workmanship attracted the visitors' attention to this work.
Leili Arslanova is the author of a very graceful necklace, made with a great delicate taste.
Mehriban Sapardurdyeva, one of the authors of the exhibition, gave an interview for the readers of our newspaper and said:
- I, like all graduates of our school, was honored to become participants of the exhibition organized in the gallery of the State Academy of Arts of Turkmenistan. We perceive this fact as a gift from our school and from the academy. Of course, our works do not reach the skill of famous artists, but we have time, desire and, most importantly, artists we want to look up to.
