It is not a secret for anyone that it is to learn all the best from other ethnic groups, to make it truly "our own", the ability to generously donate your knowledge that has developed over the centuries is an amazing feature of the Kazakh people. Today, this is the basis of the new spiritual quality of culture, including the artistic, which characterizes the state of contemporary art.

In the arts and crafts, the motifs of Kazakh masters are often repeated to varying degrees, or the forms and decorations are modified under the influence of new plastic themes and material features. But in them it would seem that the old and decades-old forgotten and revived pictorial principles are now being updated, filled with new content and new, but closely related to the old, meaning.

This colorful photo book is addressed to a wide range of readers and is written in Kazakh, Russian and English. It is also dedicated to the art of the people of Kazakhstan during the period of Independence. It features 132 Kazakhstani artists, sculptors and masters of decorative and applied art.

The people of Kazakhstan live in an ancient country for a quarter of a century with a new content of life. Representatives of different ethnic groups who dedicated themselves to creativity, preserving their national identity, enrich the works with ideas derived from the treasury of Kazakh culture, which today have become for them truly their own.

Such books are rarely published, they are the fruit of the successful work of many people.
