DANIYAR BEISHEEV: BOLD DECISIONS AND A CLEAN SHEET OF PAPER ON WHICH YOU CAN WRITE YOUR NAME
OCA Magazine: Please tell us the most important things about yourself and your creative work. What is your creative, life credo and motivation for your creativity?
Daniyar Beisheev: My name is Daniyar, I am 50 years old, and I am a lawyer by profession. Unfortunately, understanding one’s place in life sometimes comes rather late, but I prefer to believe that it still comes at the right time. I am interested in creating artistic screenplays. My life credo is “to make the complex accessible.” My creative credo is “there is nothing in the world but the best.” Exploring and observing what is happening around me is my path to creativity.
OCA: How did you choose your path and who is your role model in the creative field or in life?
DB: My inclination toward creativity appeared quite a long time ago (though not early) and, one might say, spontaneously, although there may have been certain prerequisites. I believe that a striving for beauty and a desire to follow an untrodden path are what drive all creative people to action. Soviet and international cinema have served as strong sources of inspiration for my creative work.
OCA: What is your main achievement(s) or positive impact on the world in 2024–2025?
DB: Upbringing and encouraging children toward creative self-expression!
OCA: What is the main feature that makes you and your art/work unique?
DB: I believe every person is unique if they are sincere.
OCA: Please tell us about the events or projects of the Eurasian Creative Guild (London) and projects you have already participated in and how does ECG influence your creativity and success in your work?
DB: Participation in creative meetings and master classes organized by the Eurasian Creative Guild (London) in Bishkek is the reason for my presence in this interview, and I hope it will lead to the further visualization of the presented project.
OCA: How do you think the creative professions have changed and how has the role of art in the development of the world changed in the face of modern realities?
DB: The modern world has provided many opportunities for self-expression and its accessibility, where everyone determines the relevance of things for themselves. As a result, a kind of “reassessment of values” is currently taking place. In addition, today’s constant wars, destruction, and destabilization in their various forms do not, in my view, allow genuine art to fully develop, as true art seems to love silence. However, given that human nature and genetics (unlike those of zombies) remain the same, authentic art – at its best – should return.
OCA: What would you wish for the members of the Guild and other creative people who are just starting their careers?
DB: Bold decisions and a clean sheet of paper on which you can write your name.
