Aisulu, the talented painter hailing from Almaty, Kazakhstan, believes that the key to her art is bringing happiness to those who view her work. Her earlier works were abstract, but now she’s renowned for her beautiful and colourful scenes featuring individuals or couples in stylish clothing
Her works are simply amazing, subtle, elegant and exquisite. The aura around her figures invites the spectator to stay with them, which is extremely difficult to reach when applying minimalism to an artwork.
Aisulu’s paintings depict a mixture of emotions, memories, and values. She considers tenderness as an essential ingredient in her artwork, which is evident in her portraits of twins and the affection shown between them. Her art is a mix of influence from various artists such as Marlene Dumas, Egon Schiele, Alice Neel, and Peter Doig, whose dedication to figuration, bold use of colour, and storytelling inspire Aisulu.
Though she admits that the history and culture of Kazakhstan may have influenced her art, Aisulu strives to create paintings that have a universal appeal. She aims to evoke a sense of contentment through her art, evident in the titles of her paintings, such as the ones above.
