Astana, Kazakhstan, January 23, 2025: The National Olympic Committee of Kazakhstan, in collaboration with artist Aigerim Katibayeva, presented a unique drawing in support of the national team at the 9th Asian Winter Games in Harbin, China.
Painted in a modern ethnic style, the artist’s drawing combines national traditions and contemporary art, depicting winter sports such as speed skating, figure skating, ice hockey and skiing.
