My portrait of the Mongolian huntress and her eagle hunting partner reflects the bond between human and nature, between the Kazakh people and the vast, untamed land they call home.
I wanted to capture that quiet strength -the wordless understanding between two beings who have learned to trust each other in silence.

The surface carries my modern fresco technique; crackled, textured, layered with pigments and metallic tones

-echoing the endurance of traditions that survive

the coldest winds.
It’s a meditation on guardianship, independence, and inner strength -a quiet dialogue between freedom and belonging.
