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.
