Eric Kuhlmanov presented a great speed of painting, dominated by landscape views of mountains and landscapes of Uzbekistan. The landscapes show the artist's coloristic mastery in the realistic transmission of various shades of mood - from lyrical intonations caused by the presence of valleys and villages of oses, to the manifestation of majestic panoramic mountain ranges and peaks resting in the clouds.
E. Kulmanov's thematic and portrait works appear as an unexpected contrast to his landscape paintings; in accordance with the expression of lines and color schemes, drama and an emotional sense of tension appear. In this cycle, one can feel the author's desire to express certain social problems and psychological problems of modern society with the help of pictorial means.
