Yerke Abuova is a Kazakh-American visual artist, who primarily focuses on oil painting, sculpture, and public art. In her works, Abuova depicts surreal environments that invent their own logic while creating new rules for scale and color. These fantasy worlds explore the themes of memory, cultural histories, and femininity. She received her BFA from Cornell University in 2023. Abuova has participated in group exhibitions at the Education Department of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, and in the galleries at Cornell University.
