Paintings - Valikhodjaev Ibragim - Uktam Saidov

Artist-painter, a member of the Creative Association of Artists at the Academy of Fine Arts of Uzbekistan.
The name of Ibrahim Valikhodzhaev is among the most interesting and famous artists of Uzbekistan.
Works are in the museums of Uzbekistan: the State Museum of Arts, the Directorate of Art Exhibitions at the Ministry of Culture of Uzbekistan in Tashkent, regional museums of local lore in the cities of Ak-Kurgan and Namangan, as well as in private collections and galleries of the USA, Canada, Italy, Germany, The Philippines, South Korea, and others.
The main theme of his work is the images of his contemporaries, everything that surrounds them and how they live - character characters, everyday life, various manifestations of everyday life. Personal attitude to this he manifests in various genre compositions, numerous portraits, still lifes, landscapes.
In his works he leaves a priority behind painting. With an enthusiastically experimenting with color, his own inner flair guesses and compares, seemingly, incomparable, as, for example, in a well-known series of works devoted to the theme of the Namangan bazaar, the last portraits where he combines or boldly confronts contrasting, locally taken, picturesque spots. As a result, bright decorative canvases are born that carry the color and warmth of the native Uzbek land. Or, on the contrary, these are works in which he solves the most complex color problems with the finest nuances of transitions and combinations of warm and cold tones. They are muffled and extraordinarily beautiful in the general picturesque solution.
Uktam Saidov was born in 1980 in Urgench, in a family of artisans. In 1997 he graduated from the gymnasium of arts №24 in Urgench.
In 1997 he entered the National Institute of Arts and Design named after K. Begzad.
