Main Article Content
Abstract
Oybek Islamov’s The Eternal Stage is not merely a mural but a theatre of civilization rendered in paint. With academic precision and monumental scale, the work orchestrates a dialogue between Uzbekistan’s cultural lineage and the classical canon of Europe. Figures of Socrates, Homer, and Shakespeare appear alongside echoes of Raphael, while national motifs anchor the composition in local identity. The result is a stage where antiquity, Renaissance, and modern Uzbek culture converge, transforming architecture into narrative space. In this synthesis, Islamov reaffirms mural painting as both cultural memory and philosophical inquiry — a work that asserts its place within the continuum of world art.
