He has worked in the alma mater as professor and tutor of postgraduates. In the past 27 years, the artist has gone into the life of the Tajik nationality at the Parmirs. Inspired by the zealous and enthusiastic folk customs and the strong-willed of the Tajik people, the artist has made new progress in the artistic education.
