The Beginning

Every artist needs a place to collect thoughts beyond finished artworks.

This notebook is intended to document ideas, creative processes, reflections on painting, exhibitions, and projects that shape my practice. Some entries may become the foundation for future works, while others simply record moments along the way.

Welcome.

“I begin painting for myself, but I finish it for others.”

“To leave a piece of yourself in the world, and a piece of the world within yourself.”

“I don’t want to look back one day and regret the paintings I never created.”

— Bagzhan Alikhanov Tokhtarkhanuly
