Artist that feels the mystery of harmony, composition, effects of light and shades linked to sky, earth and human being.
Being an admirable artist, Durdy Bayramov is first of all a master of psychological portrait. His love to human being is endless and he searches all the original characteristics of any of his model, the piercing essence of souls that is usually hidden from the people around.
His portrait gallery of Turkmenistan people are of art, science, ordinary workers strikes with stylistic diversity. But there is something common in all the portraits, made by Durdy Bayramov. All the portraits are the pictures of noble doers, creating life and creating themselves, always keeping in mind finiteness and eternity.The world of items in his still life paintings, nature in his landscapes – all these have their own inspired soul, their own strong and sappy atmosphere, full of feelings of air, light, smell, colour and texture…
Flowers take particular place in the creative work of Durdy Bayramov. Flowers for him are like children of earth, absolutely different, but always nice and talented, given to people to develop their naturalness, breeding their sense of beauty.
Durdy Bayramov is always on the move. His young and strong power of spirit and talent closely interwoven with philosophic approach of wise man, realizing the simplicity and complexity, sadness and happiness of life.
This maybe the main reason of that magical impression of pictures by Durdy Bayramov that make any person, familiar with his artworks, always keep in mind the vivid spirit of his drawing
