"My name is Hojiakbar Vohidov and I am from a city full of history and culture. My craft comes from my father, and I learned from skilled teachers, picking up their wisdom and techniques.
"For the past seven years, I've focused on my artistic pursuits. The craft I specialize in is a traditional form of Uzbek folk art. I mix old and new styles, using special materials to make my work unique. My father and I work together to share the beauty of Uzbek with the world. Together, we create captivating and unique designs that reflect Uzbek artistry. We use paints, varnish, brushes, mulberry paper, fabric, and more. I'm dedicated to my work, approaching it with genuine interest and dedication. I blend ancient and modern styles, creating a fusion of heritage and innovation.
"Life has had its challenges, but the craft taught me patience and determination. I'm the oldest of three brothers and two sisters in a close family. We've always supported each other. Among friends and family, I find comfort. Their positive opinions push me to be the best version of myself, always ready to help and make them proud.
"Above all, my guiding principle is honesty and integrity. For me, life and art are connected, and the right attitude can work wonders. As time goes on, my passion for my craft keeps growing. With every design, I contribute to the rich tapestry of Uzbek art and heritage, a legacy I'll pass on to the next generation, just as it was passed on to me.""
