Meet Gulnur Arkin, a dynamic Uzbek artist who transforms natural stones into vibrant masterpieces. By blending oil painting, gouache, sculpture, and traditional handicrafts, she has forged a unique style that bursts with layered depth and subtle color variations.
Every autumn, as nature shifts from warmth to chill, Gulnur sets off on a treasure hunt along riverbeds near mining sites. With a keen eye and lots of passion, she gathers stones of all colors and textures, turning these hidden gems into fine powder—the secret ingredient of her art. 🎨

This innovative process not only redefines creative expression but also sparks a wave of inspiration among young artists and dreamers. Stay tuned for more stories that celebrate art in all its extraordinary forms!
