"Truth or Chess" is an experimental surreal painting that captures the tension of a high-stakes chess game set against a deep black background. The artist, with a chilling smile, is positioned on the opposite side of the viewer, creating an unsettling connection. Both hands are raised in the air, illuminated by a dim, eerie light that casts haunting shadows, enhancing the overall sense of foreboding.
The chessboard is strikingly divided into black and red squares, symbolizing a twisted duality. Instead of traditional pieces, the chess figures are reimagined as horror film clowns. Iconic characters from the horror genre, adorned with their infamous masks (such as those from The Purge, Scream, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, dominate the board, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.
This painting reflects a profound love for both chess and horror films, showcasing how the strategic game mirrors the tension and fear inherent in the genre.

Born in Uralsk, Kazakhstan, I discovered early that art was my voice—a way to translate the unseen emotions of both humans and animals onto canvas. My work lives at the intersection of raw expression and storytelling, where dogs become mirrors of human complexity and mythic women reclaim their narratives. 

Life shaped my perspective early: witnessing my mother's battle with illness, the absence of my grandfather (a painter I'd never meet), and the solitude of being an outsider sharpened my eye for unspoken truths. Painting became my rebellion—a place where vulnerability and strength collide. Self-taught but relentless, I've spent years mastering mediums from oil to digital, not for technique alone, but to capture the energy of a gaze, the weight of a pause.

Now, my art evolves into mythic territory—women of legend reimagined with contemporary fire, paired with dogs whose eyes hold centuries of wisdom. Every piece asks: What do we share with creatures we call "lesser," and what ancient power have we forgotten? 

My brush is my bridge—between species, between past and present, between Kazakhstan's steppes and the world's galleries.
