It is extremely painful to live without skin ... to absorb the external world with each of your cells without any filters and protection - this requires courage, resilience and endless faith in life.

A young artist.

A sculptor.

He lives on the edge of reality and inner sensations.

His works are singing.

They are shouting. They are silent.

About the most intimate.

About the heartbreaking tenderness.

About the all-consuming hope.

About what is not customary to talk about.

By attracting, we are repelling. By pushing someone away, we want them to come back to us.

Listen to his works. Peer into the suffering of the slowly losing hearing Bach. Believe in the harmony of chaos.

And you will understand.

 

Abylay creates his works out of nothing. For instance from paper.  Or from the trash. From something that we do not usually pay attention to in our daily life.

Finding beauty in the ordinary is not so difficult.

To create beauty from the waste... to attract invisible threads of universal energy to oneself ... it is ingenious.

You need to have an anchor. To be attracted-tied to life forever.

Even if it’s as fragile as the sculptures made out of paper.
