The Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan on June 23, 2021 at 15.00 opens an exhibition of artists Zhanar Nuketayeva and Gulnara Kunayeva "Two souls, two elements ...".

Gulnara Kunaeva – a philologist, graduated from Kazakh State University. Honored Worker of Culture of Kazakhstan.

The exhibition "Two Souls, Two Elements..." brought together two completely dissimilar artists working in unique techniques. The life paths of these two wonderful women, who have chosen as a priority the spiritual expression of themselves through art, are also different.

But there is one peculiarity in the creative work of the masters, which made it possible to combine their works of art in a joint exhibition with the symbolic title "Two souls, two elements...". The object of close attention of artists and the subject of their depiction is nature, its elements and manifestations.

Water and water surface, moving water streams and everything connected with them is the favorite theme of Zhanar Nuketayeva's works. She is similar to herself one of the elements of nature – the same mobile, changeable and unpredictable. Zhanar has been engaged in creativity since 2003. She studied silk-screen printing with masters from different countries: Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia. She is fluent in the techniques of cold and hot batik. In her works, the master reflects her vision of the culture and traditions of different peoples and countries with which she met.

Gulnara Kunaeva came to the decision to engage in creativity quite consciously and purposefully. She decided to realize her desires and try herself in painting in 2014. Trees, flowers, the sea and the moon – the artist does not limit himself in choosing a theme. Gulnara Kunayeva's paintings are positive energy and a riot of colors. They will serve as a great addition and a bright spot for any modern interior.

The Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan invites you to the exhibition! On the opening day, a raffle drawing will take place by Zhanar Nuketaeva.

The exhibition will last till July 7, 2021.
