Forgotten Music

Saidbek Sabirbaev was born in 1988, in Nukus, the Republic of Karakalpakstan. In 2012 graduated from the National Institute of Fine Arts and Design named after Kamoliddin Bekhzad, the department of easel painting (bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes).

From 2012 – teacher in the National Institute of Fine Arts and Design named after Kamoliddin Bekhzad.

Themes of his paintings express centuries of ethnic characteristics of Kara-Kalpak peoples, limitless and boundless understanding of cosmogenic realities which were recreated with pronounced steppe colouring. Saidbek uses an original palette of colours, this obtusely gold-shining ochre, dark coral shades of red and maroon colour and sallow green colour. The artist wishes to draw attention in every possible way to the pressing global problems, for instance to desiccation of the Aral, Protection of flora and fauna, symbiosis and mutual understanding of brotherly cultures. Mysteriously funny images of his paintings reflect virgin naive peoples of Karakalpakstan which create mysterious lyric, a particular melody of the creative work of Saidbek.
