Allaberganov Sardor

The master of oil paint

Sardor Allabergenov was born on October 20, 1980 in Urganch, Khorezm region. In 1996, after graduating from high school, he entered the Behzod Institute and graduated from the restoration department of the Faculty of Applied Arts with honors. In 2003, he successfully completed his master's degree in applied arts. He currently lives and works in Tashkent. Member of the Academy of Arts of Uzbekistan. Participated in international exhibitions in France, Germany, Kazakhstan and Russia. The artist's works are kept in private galleries in different countries of the world and in private collections in the USA, Turkey, Korea, Japan and other countries. His work is well known to thousands of art lovers. Creative way I was born in the legendary land of Uzbekistan, Khorezm. My childhood and youth spent in this historical land determined my creative path. In my works, I often refer to the heritage of our ancestors, especially the monuments of Khiva, which amaze with their grandeur and beauty. I try to express people's life and lifestyle, traditions and national identity with the help of paints. Khorezm is one of the oldest cradles of human history. Like any creative person, I am attracted by its ancient history and unique architecture. In my work, there are works dedicated to the events of two to three thousand years ago, to the period when ancient fortresses and ancient Urganch itself were built. The work "Soil Castle" is dedicated to the Great Silk Road. Through my paintings, I want to contribute to our national culture and show the history of Khorezm to our contemporaries. The main content of my work today is to sing about the image of Khorezm, which is becoming more beautiful day by day, the young generation who is studying and working with the dream of the future, and the changing world around people.
