"Kuralay Meirbekova's personal exhibition, "Corner of Curiosities," offers a unique perspective on the creative journey of a novice artist. While established artists may search for new ideas, emerging artists like Kuralay are primarily on a quest to discover their artistic identity. This exploration often leads them to explore various subjects and styles, and Kuralay is no exception.

The central theme of Kuralay's exhibition is her interpretation of a "corner of curiosities," a concept traditionally associated with cabinets of curiosities filled with rare and intriguing objects. However, In Kuralay's corner, the focus shifts from physical trinkets to the results of her creative interest. Her artwork becomes a repository of emotions and experiences that evoke curiosity and the desire for knowledge in the viewer.

At first glance, Kuralay's art may appear to share deeply personal and intimate experiences. However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that her paintings are not just about her but also about the viewer. Themes such as love, loneliness, melancholy, and the joy of life are universal, and every person, regardless of age, can find elements of their own experiences reflected in Kuralay's work."
