Gallery’s Perspective:
*“Guilty Pleasure” by Zhazyra Mertenova explores the tension between the pursuit of pleasure and the guilt that often shadows it. The painting captures the moment when the inner circle of harmony is disrupted by temptation, yet simultaneously enriched with new layers of complexity.

This piece is a reflection on human nature, where indulgence and self-conflict coexist, creating a vibrant interplay of emotions. Crafted with oil and gold leaf on canvas, this 2023 work is both provocative and captivating, making it an essential addition to any collection that values depth and nuance.*
