Description
This painting is inspired by the breathtaking view I see from my window at dawn. As the first rays of sunlight touch the trees, their trunks glow with fiery red and orange hues, creating a mesmerizing contrast against the deep blue sky. This fleeting moment feels almost surreal, and I was deeply moved to capture its magic on canvas.
The dark tones of the sky and the window frame emphasize the warmth and intensity of the light, making the scene feel both intimate and dramatic. Blending realism with expressive elements, the painting invites the viewer to experience the quiet beauty of nature awakening at sunrise.
Fatimie Ashyrova is a self-taught artist born in Uzbekistan in 1979. Although her passion for art began as a child, life led her down other paths until she returned to painting with a deep devotion at the age of 37.
Fatimie now lives in Ireland, after being forced to move due to the turbulent situation in the country, and began her artistic journey from scratch, independently studying and mastering the techniques of working with oil, watercolour and acrylics.
Her work combines realism, symbolic ornament and textural abstraction. Inspired by the traditions of her homeland, she often replaces human figures with symbolic floral forms in keeping with Islamic aesthetics, telling stories of culture, identity and resilience.
In her recent abstract series, she applies layered, textured brushstrokes, creating serene, imaginary worlds inspired by the Quranic vision of Paradise, and creates abstract floral paintings.
Fatimie’s art invites viewers to experience peace, spiritual reflection and quiet beauty found in both memory and imagination.
