It is a pleasure to share this Art Review that I wrote for Kuralay Meirbekova to use for her art career promotion. She creates engaging images that capture the many nuances of human expression. Her superior one-line drawing techniques and use of mixed media are propelled by her unique artistic vision and versatility. Kuralay’s subjects convey a broad spectrum of raw emotions, experiences, and states of mind from deep contemplation and vulnerability to love, intimacy and ecstasy. Her art makes an immediate visceral impact and continues to engage us as the narratives unfold.

A rhythmic sensibility permeates Kuralay’s bold artwork akin to a perfectly composed choreography or musical composition. Her inimitable style includes a diverse repertoire of enlivened line work and contrasting painterly brushstrokes with many dabs, contours and delineations. She is innovative in her use of color to heighten an emotive response.

Kuralay is guided by a synthesis of intuition and acquired knowledge as she juxtaposes forms and balances positive and negative space, observed in her extraordinary “Magic Moments” series. We are reminded of Matisse’s line drawings. Her ability to employ line with brevity, clarity and confidence is attributed to having extensive training in architecture and interior design. It has informed her art with a proficiency in adapting composition, space, and structural elements with spontaneity and freedom of expression.

Kuralay’s art exposes those feelings that may otherwise remain hidden or unexpressed and viewing her art aids us in confronting them and improving our personal growth.
