The eTrade for all of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has published an article “Taking the art of Uzbek miniature to the world”.

“Artist Feruz Temirov from Uzbekistan creates hand-painted miniatures for the global market, selling through eBay”, writes the publication.

“Feruz Temirov is an artist and painter from Bukhara, one of Uzbekistan’s ancient cities. It was a prominent stop on the Silk Road trade route between the East and the West, and a major medieval center for Islamic theology and culture. It still contains hundreds of well-preserved mosques, madrassas, bazars and caravanserais, dating largely from the 9th to the 17th centuries”.

In its material, UNCTAD presents the work and creative path of Feruz Temirov. “After his graduation from the Faculty of Music and Fine Arts at Bukhara State University, Feruz decided to specialize in Uzbek miniature and teach this art major at the same university”, the publication notes. “During his academic career, Feruz opened a private gallery in the old city of Bukhara, creating miniatures and compositions on various topics: the Great Silk Road (caravan), famous scientists and travelers in history, the Tree of Life, and more. The painter uses a variety of materials, including ancient silk paper, modern Samarkand mulberry paper and brushes made of natural materials. The process of creating miniatures is complicated and time-consuming: it requires perseverance, great patience, a steady hand and keen eyesight, as well as the artist’s boundless imagination”.

According to the portal, the artist has participated in international exhibitions around Europe, traveling to Austria, Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland, where he sold many miniatures.
