Akbar Rakhimov belongs to a family of ceramicists, following in the footsteps of his grandfather and his father. His father was famous in the Soviet Union and his work was exported to France and Great Britain. Akbar learned everything about pottery from him and today he himself teaches his son and grandson, as well as other children, expecting them to continue the tradition. Every year he joins archaeological expeditions, where he is able to conduct his artistic research. Witnessing excavations of ancient monuments and admiring natural landscapes inspire Akbar to design future pieces. He often works with traditional shapes and patterns, studying them and demonstrating the power and energy of cultural heritage.
