Painter. National Artist of Uzbekistan. Laureate of the State Prize of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Full member of the Academy of Arts of Uzbekistan, chairman of the Academy of Arts of Uzbekistan.

A. Nur is one of the country's leading painters, creating impressive paintings in a lyrical-romantic and philosophical-analytical style.

Since the 1990s, the theme of love has become the leading one in the work of Akmal Nur. At this time there is a change in his style. The aesthetics of gloomy paintings of the late 1980s gives way to paintings that are lyrical in tone. The lyrics of both the classics of the East and modern Uzbek writers accompanies the picturesque plasticity of his works. In their intonation spectrum, the mood of bliss and traditional “moaning” about unrequited love and separation coexist. The artist uses various symbolic and allegorical images of Eastern poetry and folklore - these are the fruits of pomegranate and apple, the moon or crescent, a river, a fish, a boat, etc.
