Academics
Painter. National Artist of Uzbekistan. Active member of the Academy of Arts of Uzbekistan.
Masterfully painted psychological portraits, made in a dense textured manner, are characteristic of the work of one of the outstanding Uzbek portrait painters, Academician of the Academy of Arts of Uzbekistan, People's Artist of Uzbekistan Sabir Rakhmetov. His heroes are mostly people who have gone through a difficult school of life, wiser with experience, who have preserved the purity and nobility of the inner world. The artist is interested in the fate of these characters, and not the momentary mood, so their faces express dramatic tension and a complex range of feelings. In this regard, his painting “Surkhon Bobo” is very indicative, attracting the attention of viewers and professionals with the accuracy of the psychological characteristics of the character and powerful pictorial plasticity.
