Water (2022) Painting by Ma.Ke

Marat Abishev - an artist with a diverse creative path and a unique style. He began his artistic journey at the institute, where he studied academic painting and drawing. However, already on the third year of his studies, he became captivated by the technique of airbrushing, and he fell in love with this art form passionately. After graduating from the institute in 2010, Marat Abishev moved to Moscow, where he started working at one of the best airbrush studios. Over the course of nearly two years of intensive training, he mastered the technique and numerous techniques, honing his skills.
The artist was always drawn to airbrushing for its ability to create airy and light effects, as well as the multitude of variations that could be achieved with it. Working in the studio taught him to create a "marketable look" and produce high-quality work.
In 2012, Marat Abishev experimented with spray cans, despite their association with graffiti culture and the underground. He preferred to paint in public spaces where it was allowed. Aerosol paints, though less controllable, also provided the artist with the opportunity to experiment with the "artifacts of graffiti" - splatters and drips.
Enchanted by the contrast between the precision of the airbrush and the more chaotic effect of spray cans, Marat continued his creative journey and became a successful commercial artist in the CIS. He adorned facades, fences, walls inside and outside buildings, and even cars. However, while working on a particular commission, he began incorporating abstract elements into his projects and fell in love with this style.
Over time, Marat Abishev realized that he wanted to find his unique style and signature. Following his wife's advice, he decided to try working on canvases. Starting with airbrushing and aerosols, he transitioned to using spray cans, canvases, and easels. Due to the inconvenience of dust and odor, he couldn't work at home, and not every studio was willing to accommodate such an artist.

Marat sees the potential to continue exploring the impact of abstraction on the human psyche or even move on to new techniques in the future. Marat believes that art reflects the multifaceted nature of the world and the unpredictability of life, and he intends to continue his sincere and exploratory approach to art.
