I'm Bek Shakirov, an illustrator, surface designer, and animator based in New York. My 
greatest inspiration comes from the rich variety of colors and shapes found in nature. I’m 
deeply drawn to the elegance of classic Art Deco; visiting the pavilions of the Metropolitan 
Museum of Art felt like stepping into another world where I happily lost myself. My work 
often blends florals, paisleys, and animals, seeking harmony among different forms and 
expressions. Through my art, I explore the unity that connects all living things. My motto: 
“Live your life fully, like a single flower.
