| Your Personal Biography |
Biography: Leila Akhmet-Othman was born and raised in Almaty, Kazakhstan. From early age she was interested in art: paintings, sculpture, drawings, etc. She obtained her BFA degree in painting from the Kazakh State College of Arts in Almaty, Kazakhstan with honors. In 1998 she graduated from the Kazakh State Art Academy with major in graphic design. Upon completion her studies she received the premium for the best degree project. In 2003 Leila has moved to the USA and now she is trying to introduce her art to the American public. In her early works, Leila was seeking her inspiration in myths. It is not just appeal to stories and character of different mythologies, but also an attempt to implant into their emotional-profound tissue. Leila energizes from the Universe, Space, Water, and Nature and then reflects connection between the realities and metamorphoses in her art works. Leila’s art world is full of sounds of ocean, violins, beautiful dreams and adventures.
Personal Statement: I would like to introduce a new style of art called the “Gobelen” and contemporary Tapestry". In order to make a gobelen, first I paint an image by using either watercolor, acrylic, oil, or gouache. After that, I transfer every color and little detail into a weave like tapestry using wool, cotton, acryl and silk threads. In my work I use an ancient technique to weave, where every single step is manual and done on an old handmade wooden frame like machine. It takes between 1-6 months to complete one gobelen depending on the complexity of the details and the size.
