Youth, Art, and the Power of Music

In his youth, Marat was an impressionable and talented artist whose creativity was born in an atmosphere of free spirit and inner rebellion. In the Soviet Union, where freedom of speech and self-expression were strictly prohibited, young artists sought ways to express themselves despite the restrictions. This is how the group of like-minded individuals called Green Triangle was born. It was a community of free-spirited people, dreamers, artists, and musicians who lived for art—painting, listening to endless Pink Floyd records and contemporary rock music, attending concerts, and simply enjoying the moment.

The Green Triangle quickly gained recognition and made a lot of noise in Almaty, Kazakhstan. It was not just a group of friends—it became an artistic movement that challenged norms and pushed creative boundaries. They organized numerous exhibitions, showcasing bold and unconventional works that stood out from the traditional art scene of that time.

Music played a huge role in their lives. They listened to it constantly, and under its influence, Marat created both his paintings and graphic works. The rhythm, energy, and depth of the sounds shaped his artistic vision, making his works vibrant, emotional, and full of movement. His graphic pieces, drawn with ink on paper, were a symphony of lines intertwining into poetic and contemplative worlds. His oil paintings were large, bold, and dynamic, with open colors and layered forms, creating entire universes within each canvas.

But it wasn’t just graphics that became his language. His oil paintings at the time amazed viewers with their massive size, bold colors, and dynamic compositions. Within each shape, other, even more complex and layered images were hidden, as if the artworks contained entire universes. These paintings stood out from the traditional art of that time and attracted a lot of attention.

At that time, these works were incredibly daring and attracted a lot of attention. Today, you can see them on our website and also purchase items featuring Marat's unique prints—shirts, t-shirts, and, in the future, home decor items adorned with his recognizable drawings.

These works—his paintings, his graphics—are symbols of freedom, of a free spirit. They represent true creativity, creativity that breaks all boundaries and defies limitations. The artistic expression born in the Green Triangle continues to live on, inspiring and filling the world with vibrant colors and limitless imagination.
