In the capital of Germany, in cooperation with the Embassy of our country and the "Art - Forum" (Art - Forum für Kunst, Kultur und Wissenschaft e.V.) cultural society, an exhibition "Heritage Connecting Centuries: Uzbek Miniature Art" was organized. This was reported by "Dunyo" AA.
The exposition of the exhibition features examples of modern Uzbek miniature painting, created while preserving the traditions of the Timurid era and fine performance techniques. These works reflect the consistent continuity of the classical heritage today and new facets of artistic thinking. Its conceptual basis is the rich literary heritage of Alisher Navoi and Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur. Their immortal works, which have been the main source of inspiration for the Central Asian miniature school since the 15th century, not only formed the literature of the region, but also laid the foundation for a unique system of visual images, in which moral ideas, spirituality, and nature are combined.
Within the framework of the event, the head of the "Art - Forum" cultural society, Zukhra Rakhmatova, informed the guests about the techniques of miniature painting, the sources of the plot, and its continuity today. It was noted that Uzbek miniature reached great heights in the 14th-16th centuries, in particular, during the Timurid Renaissance, which, unlike the principles of perspective and volume (shadow-light) characteristic of Western fine art, is based on the concepts of symbolic space and conditional time.
The exhibition presents works by teachers of the Kamoliddin Behzod National Institute of Arts and Design and the Pavel Benkov Republican Specialized School of Arts - Avazbek Kadyrov, Zilola Suleymanova, Shokhrukh Butaev, Sabrina Dzhanibekova, and talented students Olim Omonov and Ibrat Fayzullaev.
This exhibition, organized in Berlin, plays an important role in promoting the rich cultural heritage of Uzbekistan on the international stage. The event not only introduced the unique traditions of the Timurid miniature school to foreign audiences, but also demonstrated the high skill of contemporary Uzbek artists, formed on the basis of the "master-student" school.
