Abstract

This article examines the historical stages in the formation of Uzbekistan’s painting art and its role in the development of national artistic thought, from ancient mural painting traditions to the modern school of painting, through a scientific and theoretical perspective. The significance of painting art in shaping the spiritual values of the people, aesthetic education, national identity, and cultural memory is explored. In addition, the major representatives of Uzbekistan’s painting tradition, their artistic legacy, the creative explorations of the independence period, and the harmony of tradition and innovation in contemporary painting are thoroughly analyzed.
