My art career started with drawing, as early as seven years old. My parents brought me to the art studio in Pioneer's Center. I attended the Art Institute in Tashkent City and took several workshops in Moskow. I still remember my instructors; even the first one. They were very nice people and all devoted to art. After years in the field, I still appreciate their support and willingness to share their talent and experiences with me.
I was always excited about landscape painting. The beautiful hills, trees, and small birds invigorated me to paint. I started by sketching outdoors or working from photographs of outdoor sceens. Through the past 30 years, I have progressed with a number of different painting mediums: as well as mural designing. I am currently painting, teaching and working out of Jan's Art Studio on Fremont Blvd.
I will always remember the words of my friends, that the painting process is like a rolling show ball. It becomes larger and larger. As I work consistently, day-by-day, I keep accumulating new ideas that inspire me to do new projects.
I have found that different objects that surround my everyday life are valuble subjects for creating art work. Another subject that always magnetizes me is a human being. I like to paint colorful people at street fairs ar stadiums. On the other hand, a portrait also interests me. I collect pictures that catch my eye or remind me of the people who made them or gave them to me.
My schedule revolves around the studio; teaching children and adults, working in senior centers, conducting workshops and taking care of my family. When I have free time, I like to seek out areas of town that I want to paint.
