Biography of Zaur Ibragimov

It gives a certain charge of vigor and charges the communication with talented and positive people and charges with new ideas, inspires and motivates. Especially when these are personalities with life experience, behind the shoulders of which the solid baggage of knowledge accumulated for decades. The other day, a meeting with such a person was organized by a longtime friend of the Voices of Crimea and one of the authors of the constant headings of the newspaper Fevisi Asanov.

On vacation in the Crimea from the Altai city of Biysk, a member of the Union of Artists of Russia Zaur Ibrahimov came, about which we had the honor to tell readers four years ago in the publication of his Flight of the Civil Code, a future artist in the year in Simferopol Akmesjid was born. He graduated from the Tashkent Republican Art College and Tashkent Theater-Art Institute.

With the years, Zaur Ibrahimov taught painting, drawing and sculpture at the Faculty of Art and Grace of the Biysk State Pedagogical Institute. His work and work of his wife Lyudmila Ivanova, also an artist, were presented at various all -Russian and foreign personal exhibitions, are stored in the museums of Biysk, Barnaul, Novosibirsk, in private collections in Germany, the USA, Australia.

He showed himself in painting, easel and book graphs, decorative and applied art. He was fond of minting and the design of stained glass and interiors of buildings, mastered almost all graphics techniques. Among his works are sketches, drawings and paintings made by coal, pencil, feather, sangina drawing wands made of kaolin and oxide of iron or reddish shades and even sauce.

Zaur Ibrahimov was familiar with the student of the famous artist Nikolai Roerich-Alfred Haydok, and an excerpt from his essay with memories of him was published in the Civil Code somehow, resting on the Crimean beach, accidentally met a professor, doctor of physicist and mathematical sciences, the head of mathematical analysis of the faculty of mathematics and informatics of the Tauride National University, the university, unfortunately, did not take his phone and addresses with a very interesting personality, but he painted his portrait on the beach, which he never had a chance to give.

An interesting circumstance that I once wrote a portrait of a professor, a specialist in algebra and the theory of Boevich's numbers, so they, it turns out, were familiar. Imagine, I studied at school on his textbooks at school. Delone was a lover of painting and music, composed plays for piano, owned picturesque technology. But his most passionate hobby was mountaineering. His name was named after the eastern peak of Belukha Mountain in Altai - the peak of Delon.

Here, against the backdrop of this peak, I wrote a portrait of Boevich, I think this is symbolic for his student. In the distant year, when I only graduated from the institute 1 and worked, my mother, with my eyes burning with impatience, said to me: “I bought tickets, go, I will show you your homeland ...”. So, for the first time after deportation, I arrived in Crimea, I then visited my courtyard on Simferopol Street 24, looked at the neighbors who hid during the war years when bombing by the Nazis of Simferopol.

Uncle Meni's name was the name of our neighbor and a large basement, where we were waiting for air raids. I kept this indelible impression of Crimea in the form of more than 50 sketches and sketches that I forgot about. All these years they have been waiting in the wings, and today I brought them with me to the Crimea.

Now this is both memory and history ... "Water for salvation" - I would like to share another significant event for me. Last year, the journalist Valentina Ivanovna Kraplin in the Central Library of Biysk, known in Altai, presented her book “Water to Salvation”, which I and the graduate of the art and ethnographic faculty Vera Karnaukhova performed. The publication of this colorful and very informative book was preceded by a long, from a year, the painstaking work of its author together with us - artists and specialists in geographical issues, in the water bodies of Altai.

The publication, more pages and about 40 illustrations, includes scientific and ethnographic studies, poems, proverbs, sayings, the toponymic dictionary of the Altai Mountain, all the most interesting that is associated with water. I consider this book a kind of encyclopedia. The indigenous peoples of Altai are very careful about the gifts of nature. They spiritualize everything: mountains, and earth, and air, and fire, and water ...

Everything has its own soul. I devoted to this a series of my works “The Spirits of the Altai Mountain”. In the mentality of the people, water and woman have a unique property of giving life. Hence the respect for them. This is a source of life. So fate determined my mission. And surprisingly, by the age of 50 the spot disappeared. By that time, I had already mastered all the techniques of graphics well, became a member of the Union of Artists of the USSR, successfully combined creativity with teaching.

In the year, among his early works, he stumbled upon a self -portrait, which was written at 34 years old.He formed the basis of the series of my works “Fruits and Roots”, which, among other paintings, I plan to present for the next year at the exhibition for my flying. The name "Fruits and roots" symbolizes about my Crimean roots that feed my work, and the fruits that I dedicate to the world, Altai, from where the Turks originates, and Crimea.

My fruits are my daughter Alina Khairulinova, also an artist, writes with watercolors on silk, teaches at the art department at the Children's School of Arts. I have two grandchildren and two great -grandchildren. In general, our whole family is artists. My matchmaker is Ilbek Khairulinov-Honored Artist of Russia, the author of articles on the artists of Altai, veterans of labor, the author-compaist of ten albums of painting.

He published several books in which he combined his paintings and stories. His paintings are stored in the State Art Museum of the Altai Territory 60 paintings, museums and galleries of the Altai Territory, art museums of other regions of Russia, in private collections abroad and in Russia. The son -in -law - Robert Khairulinov - a schedule, also a famous artist, member of the Union of Artists of Russia.

Zaur Ibragimov has about work, and each is a whole life, the artist shares. The meaning of everything I do: fruits and roots. Comprehension of creativity - like a river endlessly, as life is fleeting, but has its main concept - a continuation of the genus.
