"The theme is relevant in our troubled time. I think it is worth thinking about our attitude to the world, to suppress in oneself everything that leads to war, instability in society, in the family, in nature. We should learn for analysis and thinking to be objective political processes understanding. The main victims of these games are children.

I think, that the main condition for maintaining balance in a constantly mixing world is Respect and Gratitude to the culture that has become your home. Through my art I call to humanity. I try to serve the understanding that life is diverse but important in any form. We all are living beings and we are an integral part of this world, no matter which religion or nation we are. Life couldn't be wrong! Respect Life! We are all different and in that diversity, the uniqueness and beauty of our planet.

It is main condition, that helps make our world more peaceful, harmonic and happy for our children and next generations." Elmars Mageramovs

A background in academic painting provided him with a good base for the his art; firmly grounded in the realism traditions. Art turned to social themes, such as ethnicity, religion, traditions and humanity. Through his art, Elmar strives to convey the diversity of people and cultures, to show things that people have in common, as human beings. 

I think that the main condition for maintaining balance in an ever-changing world is Respect and Gratitude for the culture that has become your home. Respect for inner and outer Nature. With my art, I appeal to humanity, I try to serve the understanding that life is diverse, but important in any form. We are all different in this diversity, uniqueness and beauty of our planet. I believe that respect for another culture will help make our world more peaceful for us, our children and future generations. More on Elmars Mageramovs
