02 / MY STORY
A little about me
02 / ART SCHOOL
Learning to see the light
I study at an art school in Khujand.
My teacher is a professional, and I have learned so much from him. People compare my work to his technique, especially the way I capture light ✨ and other details.
I love painting with gouache and acrylics, on canvas and paper. I have also learned pencil drawing, watercolours and oil painting.
03 / 2021 · FIRST STEPS
How it all began…
At nine, I entered a Vitamama children’s drawing competition organised by Siberian Wellness, where my mum worked at the time.
04 / 01 MAY 2021 · ARTPANDA
A prize that opened a door
On 1 May 2021, I won a prize 🏆: a three-month course at the ArtPanda online drawing school.
05 / A GROWING PASSION
Drawing more and more
I loved the online lessons and began drawing from them on my own. My mum noticed my talent and took me to art school so I could develop it professionally.
06 / 07 JAN 2022 · WORKSHOP
My turn to teach
At ten, I held a drawing workshop for children at the Siberian Wellness New Year celebration in my hometown, Khujand, on 7 January 2022.
There were lots of children, including my classmates and friends. It was interesting and fun, and everyone made lovely drawings of a little tiger 🐯, the symbol of that year.

08 / FAMILIAR FACES
My teacher and family
I drew my teacher and my family: my mum and dad, my grandfather and grandmother.
09 / SELF-PORTRAIT
Seeing myself
I drew myself too — a self-portrait 🥰
My family always supports and inspires me. They believe in me and say that I will become a great artist. We value art, and in the future I want to create beautiful handmade masterpieces for myself and for all of you 👩🏻🎨
