About "Kok-Buru at Soň-Köl"

About the artwork

What you see here is pure tension and power. Two Kyrgyz riders are engaged in a fierce battle during the ancient game of kok-buru, an equestrian sport that symbolises courage and agility. The reins are tight, whips at the ready, and you can almost feel the dust blowing up from the grass steppe. In the background, the serene calm of Lake Soň-Köl and the soft contours of the mountains contrast with the ferocity in the foreground.

My inspiration? Kyrgyzstan's rich nomadic culture and ancient traditions that are still alive and kicking. Kok-buru is more than a game; it is a ritual, an expression of strength, respect and connection with horse and nature.

The mood of this portrait is intense and dynamic, but at the same time earthy and pure. The warm colour palette reflects the steppe and late sunlight, while the cooler blue of the lake provides balance.

With this work, I want to make you feel the tension of the moment as well as the beauty of contrast: man and nature, struggle and silence, tradition and eternity.

This work of art is an eye-catcher in any interior. It brings movement and story to a room, but because of the natural tones it effortlessly harmonises with various styles - from minimalist to rural. It is not just a picture, it is a window to a world where tradition still breathes.
