Uzbekistan is one of the major cultural countries in Central Asia. This country has a history of traditional arts, especially in painting, due to the discovery of Afrasiab archaeological drawings in the 7th and 8th century and Bukhara school in the 15th and 16th centuries. Contemporary art is also one of the most prevailing arts in this country. This study seeks to identify different styles of contemporary Uzbekistan paintings. Twentieth-century Russian culture and art of Uzbekistan with regard to the impact on the evolution of traditional and modern painting are also achieved.

Contemporary paintings are inspired by the art and culture of Russia and East Europe and the creation of avant-garde art in the twentieth century paintings in poster design, book illustration and graphic art of Uzbekistan. The paintings inspired by the artistic traditions of Uzbekistan in the twentieth century that are painted in oil on canvas, are introduced in graffiti and painting exhibitions and fashion with an emphasis on traditional clothing for women. In addition, some important aspects of the image reflected in paintings by contemporary artists are influenced by discoveries in archeological Uzbekistan Afrasiab sites, and Panjakent and Varakhsha by many visual motifs of Sassanid art, Hindi, Chinese paintings and Buddhist icons.  In another group of paintings, according to the identity-oriented lacquer paintings, it can be grasped that the hypothesis of the present paper is based on the signs of the historic painting to be proved in contemporary Uzbekistan painting.   Research method of this paper is descriptive-analytical and in some parts of it, necessary comparative studies have been conducted.
