A solo exhibition by Honoured Artist Kazakbai Azhibekuly, titled QYZGALDAQ MEKENI (Land of Tulips), has opened at the National Museum of Kazakhstan. The exhibition is dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the country’s Independence. The collection features 100 paintings reflecting the country’s history, culture, national traditions and continuity between generations. The paintings depict vast steppe landscapes, historical figures and scenes from the life of the Kazakh people. Particular attention is given to interethnic harmony. In his painting Our Common Home, for example, the artist portrays representatives of different ethnic groups living in Kazakhstan, highlighting the idea of unity and peaceful coexistence. The central symbol of the exhibition is the tulip, which, according to the artist’s vision, represents freedom, resilience and the spiritual heritage of the people. Through his works, the artist seeks to convey the connection between the past and the present, preserve historical memory and showcase the richness of Kazakh culture. The exhibition will run until December 25.
«I believe the history of Kazakhstan and the history of the Kazakh people are symbolically linked to this flower. Despite harsh conditions, rain and snow, it has managed to preserve itself and its home. We have also gained our independence. There is a country known as the Land of the Rising Sun. I believe our country can rightfully be called the Land of Tulips,» Kazakbai Azhibekuly noted.
«I am truly delighted to see this exhibition. First of all, the artist is from our university, and it is especially wonderful to see his works displayed in such a beautiful museum. All the works are so beautifully and delicately executed. They inspire students to bring something of their own to their art and become equally outstanding artists,» exhibition visitor Yenlik Meirkhan shared.
