Khamdamov Radmirdjon is an artist who works in various media and genres, such as painting, drawing, watercolour, monumental art, and oil painting. He was born in 1979 in Chardzhou, Turkmenistan, and developed a passion for art from an early age. He has participated in numerous art exhibitions and events, both nationally and internationally, and has won several awards and recognitions for his work. He has also visited and learned from some of the world's most renowned museums and artists, developing his own unique and expressive style.

When the artist just began his practice, he thought that there was no place for subject and figurative painting in the contemporary art world. It seemed at the time that this was often because the viewer who wants to appear trendy usually tends to go to so-called “fashionable” places to seem advanced. However, it never stopped Khamdamov from mastering his practice.

Choosing a proper model

The process of choosing a “model” to depict in an image is always a very responsible part for any professional painter, who has their strong visual language. For Khamdamov, it is always important to combine oriental motives and selfness in his oeuvre.

He pays great attention to compositions with fruits, which is typical of the Eastern tradition. Pomegranates often become objects of his creative interest. This fruit is recognized as a symbol of Central Asia. It is quite difficult to imagine many Eastern dishes without it, many of which are also, in a way, works of art.

The composition is especially worth highlighting – Khandamov adheres to the academic principle with a clearly defined centre and wings. The artist notes that this approach is ideal for interior painting. A typical collector of such works wants to see more joy and abundance in his home, and Khandamov's canvases just emphasise this point.

From a technical point of view, it is worth noting that the artist deliberately chose the format of realism, and from a technical point of view, all the paintings are painted with glazes, which brings Khandamov closer to the old masters whom he loves so much. In conclusion, it is worth noting that the work of Radmir Khamdamov compares favorably with many of his contemporaries in terms of monumentality and choice of themes. The artist deliberately adheres to the academic path, where skill and symbolism reveal the personality of the author.
