Zhaiyk Kushikbayev is known to the public mainly as a master of extensive, panoramic landscapes. The most remote corners of Kazakhstan come to life in the works of the master of landscape. Most of the works are painting compositions made in the landscape genre, which reflect the beauty of the nature of Kazakhstan.

The works of the artist, imbued with love for their native land, glorifying the greatness and beautiful nature of the Alatau mountain foothills, Aral, landscapes of Kapchagai, Kaskelen, Kyrgauyldy, etc., are especially impressive.

Seasons in painting are a special theme in the landscapes of paintings by many artists.

Landscape painter Zhayik draws from nature, spending a long time in nature, depicting on his canvases - mountains, rivers, fields that truly fascinate. Landscapes of the artist have a certain magical appeal, it is simply impossible to tear off the eyes from them. The works of Kushikbayev Zh. also display different seasons - the awakening of nature, early spring, summer, autumn and winter landscapes, where you can see sunsets and sunrises, the beginning and end of the day, summer evening, fading sky and nature, subtle colors and light in the snow, the impressive sweep of the mountain peaks, the outlines of the hills.

Ulukbek Sharakhynovich himself showed tenderness and paternal care, and some of the students affectionately called him “Batya”!

In 1992, Ibragimov U.Sh. for the first time in Kazakhstan establishes the second stage of Continuing Education - Republican Art College. The college was dominated by an atmosphere of creativity and creation: teachers and students participated in city and republican exhibitions, joined the Youth Association of the Union of Artists of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and then the Union of Artists of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The idea of creating the Kazakh State Art Academy (KSAA) - the third stage of continuous art education, which was supported by the Ministry of Education of Kazakhstan belonged to Ibragimov U.Sh. In KSAA were transferred to the Department of "Machine" and "Monumental" painting, "Sculptures", "Drawing" from the Theater and Art Institute named after T. Zhurgenov. The faculty was replenished by the National artists of Kazakhstan, the leading figures of the fine arts: K.T. Telzhanov and Kh.I.Nauryzbaev, as well as Zh.Kairambaev, Kistaubaev, A.D. Duzelkhanov, B.E. Umarbekov, B.S. Bolatpaev, M. Kaliev, Suleev, A. Bapanova, S. Bapanova and others.

During five years of work at the Academy, Ibragimov U. Sh. was able to gain prestige among the faculty, thanks to his high professionalism of the leader, and as an experienced manager he was able to unite the teams of three levels.

Subsequently, the Kazakh State Art Academy and the Theater and Art Institute named after T. Zhurgenov united in the Kazakh National Academy of Arts named after T. Zhurgenov.
