Sculptural monuments in Astana.
The "Astana" sculpture is located in the garden square on Tashenov street. The garden square attracts attention for its small architectural forms, one of which is central to its composition – that is the "Astana" sculpture.
The monument was opened on June 26, 2002. The bronze "Astana" sculpture represents the image of a girl in a native costume, in whose hands there is a traditional musical instrument of the Kazakh people - dombra.
The elegant, graceful girl’s figure reflects musicality to the spirituality of the Kazakh people. Under her feet there is a steppe symbol - feather grass. The image of a young girl symbolizes the young capital, beauty, friendliness, good intentions of Kazakhstan, its openness to other peoples, countries and continents.
The sculpture is made of bronze and mounted on a marble pedestal, which is executed in the form of a parallelepiped, trimmed on the corners, giving the composition a certain delicateness. The author of the sculptural composition is a member of the Union of Artists of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Assistant Professor of sculpture A.Kh.Bayarlin.
