Dinara Mirtalipova is a young artist and illustrator who was born in 1982 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. She lives and works in Twinsburg (OH), USA.
"I am a big dreamer who likes to imagine unimaginable things, who draws because I can`t sing and who likes telling stories through paper and pencil. I grew up on folk tales and myths and legends, there was something magical in those good old children`s books my mom used to read me." (Wiedemann, 2011 p.292) She considers herself someone who follows her dreams. She is proud of her culture and the folktales told by her mother when she was young. She would always love to live in the sky, just flying with the clowds, not having a proper home. All of her wishes with flying, traveling, dreaming can be seen in her beautiful illustrations. (Mirtalipova, 2009)

Mirtalipova says she is just doodeling but I think she is living in her dream world when she is drawing. She creates her own "Wonderful life of Amelie".

Her really clear and beautifully colored pictures are giving the viewer an idea about her beautiful, pure soul. She is really able to keep the inner child inside her as pure and innocent as she was when she listened to her mother`s story.
