Woman with a Colorful Face and Circular Background (2024) Painting by Asel

I am Asel, an artist exploring the infinite spaces of consciousness and mythology, born and raised in the colorful landscapes of Kazakhstan.My artistic journey began in 2014 and developed into a unique style, where every brush stroke is a dialog with the imaginary. In my paintings, I combine surrealism and phantasmagoria with inspiration drawn from nature and architectural harmony.I choose colors to paint a dream and lines to draw a path to fantasy. My works explore the thin line between the real and the unknowable, inviting the viewer to take a journey through the untraveled corners of the mind and the universe.An interest in mythology and the inner world is reflected in each creation, inviting the viewer into a world where fantasy intertwines with reality, creating new horizons of perception.

Before immersing myself in the world of painting, my career took an unexpected turn - I became a cartographic myth specialist, studying ancient maps and legends, which awakened my ion for exploring fantasy and reality. This unique experience was the catalyst for my desire to express myself through art.Shortly thereafter, I traveled to China where I received my art education. Immersion in the rich and diverse cultural environment of this country has had an invaluable influence on my palette and concepts, enriching my paintings with a blend of traditional Eastern techniques and my personal, contemporary vision.
