According to one of the organizers, Bibigul Smakova, the idea to hold the exhibition appeared after a joint trip to the plein air in Issyk-Kul.

"When we arrived from the plein air, we painted all the beauty of the southern coast of Kyrgyzstan in our paintings. The works in the form of painting, graphics and felt are presented here.

We have a painter Marua Baitursynova, who started drawing at the age of 60. She learned how to embroider pictures with ribbons via the Internet. Today she has a work on which she depicted her mother Kymbat, who was born after the 30s, she has 13 children, more than 100 grandchildren. So Marua embodied her mother’s image in this picture of several techniques, it's felt, tape, painting. Her mother is also preparing for a personal exhibition. So her daughter dedicated this picture to her.

We have artists from Kostanay, Gulserim Tokbayeva, a talented watercolorist from Ust-Kamenogorsk Alfiya Mukhamedyanova, Asiya Bekisheva, an artist from the capital. Having professional education, we had a break in creativity due to different circumstances. After a break in 25-30 years we have decided to unite and create such group. And I think it turned out to be great," says exhibition curator.

Also 9-year-old artist Aibike Kubanychbekova joined this group of artists.

"Last year we also went to the open air. A little girl joined us, she was sitting and drawing pictures. When we got there, she showed us her works and said that during this time she was drawing paintings and asked us to join our team. A child who had been dreaming for a year joined us at the European Creative Guild” said the artist.

The co-author of the project also shared that in autumn they are planning a trip to Uzbekistan and to hold a two-day exhibition in Paris, in the Kazakhstan Embassy.
