Featured Artist - Almira

Almira became our artist in 2016, when she moved to BC. Since then she is purchasing Decola paints for her textile art projects and supports RUSART in social media.

Almira was born and raised in Almaty, Kazakhstan where she attended Almaty University with major in Batik technique. She graduated in 1999 and got her Bachelor of Arts Degree.

After graduation, Almira began teaching art classes, which included Batik technique, as well as oil and watercolour painting. Also, she actively participated in several group and solo art exhibitions where her art was showcased.

Batik art by AlmiraIn 2007 Almira moved to Toronto, ON, where she continued teaching private lessons, creating and exhibiting her artworks.

In 2014 Almira moved to Edmonton, AB and began successfully hosting paint parties. Shortly later Almira moved to BC, being drawn by Vancouver’s natural beauty, where she has been living since then. Almira never stopped painting, teaching and hosting paint parties.

Almira’s speciality is Batik technique (painting on fabric with melted wax, Decola and Javana paints). Following her the advice of her first year university art teacher Olga Batini, PhD in Arts, Almira focused on painting on textiles, including Batik.

Stylization with a focus on depicting nature in a decorative way has always appealed to Almira. “Using bright, vibrant colors and contrast in my artworks to communicate happiness, I believe, is my ultimate goal” – that what Almira is saying about her art path.

Although she visualizes her pictures before even beginning painting, Almira enjoys playing with lines, tones and effects to give each piece an original, spontaneous quality. Whether it’s a sketch, oil painting or batik, Almira finds the process just as fulfilling as the finished piece.
