lesidris@gmail.comAigerim Arginbayeva is a contemporary artist whose work focuses on exploring memory, identity, and emotional landscapes. Drawing is the heart of her practice,  a skeleton that holds the painting together. It is the starting point, the framework from which everything grows. From this foundation, the work shifts between figuration and abstraction, guided by emotion and the material. 

Recently, she has incorporated felt and old knitted fibres into her practice, using punch needle techniques on raw canvas. As a mother, the tactility of these materials profoundly resonates with her experiences, adding a layer of intimacy and memory to her work. She listens to what the materials offer, allowing them to hold and reveal the narrative of her life and the stories of others.
