A known Tajik artist and sculptor, Sayyid Umar Masum, presented one of his works – a bronze engraving depicting President Emomali Rahmon – to the Tajik leader in Dushanbe on Monday, March 25.
The Tajik president’s official website says, “This talented Tajik artist, who has been living and working in Germany and other European countries for many years, has embodied the images of many politicians and famous personalities of the world with busts, statues and other beautiful works, and recently decided on his own initiative to create and personally present the sculpture of Emomali Rahmon.”
During the engraving presentation ceremony, Sayyid Umar Masum reportedly said that for many years he dreamed of serving Tajikistan and the cultural people of Tajikistan with his art, and today, during a conversation with the Chairman of the Majlisi Milli (Tajikistan’s upper chamber of parliament) Rustam Emomali, who is also the Mayor of Dushanbe, expressed his views on working and creating in Tajikistan, and voiced his readiness to start cooperation.
