Manhattan Bridge (2020) Drawing by Ikrambek Muratbaev

My name is Ikrambek Muratbaev. I was born in Uzbekistan in the city of Muynak. It so happened that my parents moved to Russia with me when I was less than 1 year old. Since then I have been living in Russia in the city of Orenburg.

From an early age, all my free time was occupied with drawing. These drawings were completely different in style and genre. Cars, buildings, animals, fruits and so on. I was about 15 years old and maybe less when I realized that I wanted to connect my art with architectural structures. I really love it. When the plan starts to work out - I'm happy.

I really like Gothic in France, Germany. I've drawn a lot of her before. But now I'm crazy about US bridge architecture. It's like a standalone work of art.

My main problem is drawing people. My friends often ask me to draw them, and I say that it is not easy to take and draw, and that it takes a lot of inspiration. Apparently they don't understand it.

I draw only what turns me on!
