We recently connected with Ayuna Gambozhapova and have shared our conversation below.
Ayuna, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
year 2014. Meeting with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. I remember he hugged me, my heart was beating and it seemed like it was about to jump out of my chest. Then I lived with this warm feeling for a long time; I really wanted to express my emotions, but I didn’t understand how. One day, seeing a local artist paint, my hand involuntarily reached out to his brush. And lo and behold! I began to see bright colors, I wanted to reproduce it all on canvas. So I started writing, and then… Then there were exhibitions in Paris and Dallas, Madrid and Montreux, Moscow and Ulan Ude, Palma de Mallorca.
So ten years flew by. On May 6th of this year, I was fortunate enough to meet the Master again at his residence in the city of Dharmsala, where I presented a portrait painted by me as a gift as a token of gratitude for his inspiration and support. His smile was warm, like a ray of sunshine illuminating my soul. He took my hands in his and looked into my eyes as if blessing me and filling me with confidence and determination to move forward despite all the difficulties. From that moment I realized that art is not only a way of self-expression, but also a way of communicating with the world and with myself.
Ayuna, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I would like to bring feelings of happiness and joy through my artwork to the potential customers and followers.
