What is your opinion about creativity?
Botagoz Akanajeva
"Every day I go out and admire the beautiful mountain and lonely tree on it and the silence all around. Magpies are flying in the garden...and easel with a white canvas..."
Galym Karzhasov
"I make sketches spontaneously, but usually I do it in the rain. I always take a few small notepads with me. Sometimes I make sketches I the studio...just sketches and that's all I cannot sit down at the table intentionally and to do the work. It's not my style. I don't think about colors at all! Pictures come off at once. Something happens in the mind..."
Leyla Mahat
"You can get the answer out of nothing. Truly, creativity is inexplicable process. It's what comes off the soul I do it, because it's beyond my will. Something is captivating me. I'm filled up. And if I do not express myself, I'm loosing my soul and body. And this borderline between outer and inner world...how to find it? That's why I live in these two worlds at the same time..."
Sagyntai Alimbet
"Kokterek - is a tree of life. The world consists of three parts. Lower world gives people wealth and protects from evils. Middle world dwells around the man and all living creatures. Upper world - Tengri Sky, his eagle and heavenly bodies - the Sun, the Moon and the Stars..."
