Daud Akhleyev (Daud Akhriev, 1959 -) is an outstanding American Kazakh painter whose artistic journey is full of profound pursuit of classical skills and rich cross-cultural experience. In 1959, Daud was born in Kazakhstan, the former Soviet Union. It is this land that nurtures his deep passion for art. Akhleyev's art journey began in his childhood. In the era of limited resources, Daud always used all available materials to create.

As he grew older, his talent gradually revealed and eventually led him to the path of classical painting. His formal art education began at Repin Academy of Fine Arts, which is famous for its rigorous teaching and persistent pursuit of classical art.

Here, Akhleyev received 14 years of rigorous training, during which he studied painting techniques and theories under the guidance of the late painter and scholar Piotr Fomin. In the end, he graduated with excellent results and obtained the Master of Fine Arts degree.

In 1991, when the Soviet Union was disintegrating, Akhleyev decided to immigrate to the United States and settle in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This migration is not only a change in geographical location, but also a major turning point in his artistic career. In the United States, he found new inspiration and creative freedom. In Chattanooga, he not only became an American citizen, but also met Melissa Heflin, wife of an artist. The two people are moving forward together on the road of art, and often commute between Andalusia in Spain and Chattanooga in Tennessee in the United States.

Aklleyev's artistic creation covers a wide range of media, including oil painting, watercolor painting, egg painting, ceramics, sculpture and mosaic. Whether it is characters, scenery, still life or interior decoration, he can give life to each work with a unique perspective and skills. In his landscape paintings and interior decoration works, he can particularly feel a sense of age and material, which makes his works more profound and historical.

As an outstanding artist, Akhleyev has not only made great achievements in creation, but also is a highly respected teacher. He devoted a lot of effort to the teaching of figure and landscape painting, and cultivated countless students. His immortal works are widely sought after internationally, among which the four 9-foot high bronze sculptures "Four Seasons" he created for Chattanooga City are the most famous. This group of sculptures has been listed in the national public art register and become one of the important artistic landmarks of the city.

In addition to sculptures, Akhleyev also created exquisite mosaics and murals for Erlange Church, Baylor School, Kolgedale Adventist Church, St. Peter's Cathedral and other places. These public art works not only show his superb skills, but also reflect his profound understanding of society and culture.

In 2002, Akhleyev's work collection Diversity of Styles was published by Common Place Publishing House, which recorded his exploration and achievements in different art media and styles in detail. In addition, his works were also included in the Finley Collection of Russian Art, which witnessed an important moment in his artistic career.

Akhleyev's paintings not only appeared in books about Repin College, but also appeared on the cover and inside pages of many well-known magazines, such as Artist Magazine, Pastel Magazine, Island Magazine, Chattanooga Magazine, Southern Life and American Art Collector. His works have attracted many art lovers and collectors with their unique style and profound artistic heritage.
