"Telenge alu."

The painting is dedicated to the ancient Kazakh game "Tenge Alu", which for centuries has been a symbol of strength, agility and honor of the rider. The canvas depicts a tense moment: a rider in a bright red suit leans sharply to the ground to grab a white object - a bag symbolizing a coin. His horse, rushing forward, seems to tear up the space of the steppe: its hooves stir up the ground, its mane develops in the wind, and its swift movement conveys a sense of freedom and excitement. Golden-red tones create an atmosphere of heat and energy, emphasizing the drama of what is happening. The horizon going into the haze reminds us of the vast expanses of our native land, where such competitions have been played out for centuries. This work does not just depict the moment of the game - it symbolizes the spirit of nomadic culture, where man and horse are united in a single rhythm, and every second is full of risk and courage. The painting seems to revitalize the tradition, making it close to the modern viewer and reminding of the roots that nourish the present.
