THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Artisan Organization: Fitiev Valery Gennadievich
Country: Silk Road
"I was born and raised in Tashkent in an ordinary working-class family. Despite this, my parents recognized my creative potential and did everything possible to nurture my skills. Additionally, my friends and all family members supported me in all my endeavors. I studied at the Republican College of Fine and Applied Arts from 1999 to 2003.
"My creations draw inspiration from local traditions and culture. Each item features a unique design, and I personally create every piece without relying on the assistance of others. In the future, I hope to pass on my skills to my children and realize my creative potential in other countries. I also aspire to participate in various handicraft events abroad.
"Friends consider me a successful, determined, and engaging conversationalist. I, in turn, strive to continually improve myself. Hiking and immersing myself in nature are my hobbies, as they serve as a source of creative ideas. My philosophy in life is 'Put your soul into it - you can do anything!'""
