«Clay, resigning itself to the will of the master, takes fantastic shapes. Bright
colors make her speak and a mysterious and attractive world appears. This
is the world of a strong, confident and wise woman – the leading ceramist of
Turkmenistan – the world of Maral Atayeva.»
-- Irina Kistovich, art critic
