At the Institute of International Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan an exhibition of artistic works by the professor Ovezdurdy Mukhametberdyev took place. On this day in the spacious foyer Institute brought together those who have known this man for many years, his relatives, friends, colleagues, numerous students and current students.

In a beautifully decorated foyer with extraordinary meticulousness and the artistic works of the hero of the day are expertly displayed, who turned 75 on this day. An entire era. And therefore among those who spoke with congratulations to the hero of the day numerous guests were people of different ages and professions, popular, honored and most ordinary amateurs artistic art.

Today Professor Mukhametberdiev has so many paintings and sketches that the organizers and assistants of the scientist the day before had to make more than one trip in cars to get to exhibition of the author's work.

And once upon a time, when in rural school in Mary, he dreamed of mathematics, at the same time he also mastered the basics of fine art. Further life the prospects were such that in the development of the personality of a scientist the craving for exact sciences and humanitarian passions have always fought sociologist and philosopher. It is difficult to combine incompatible things, but the way passed by Ovezdurdy Mukhametberdyev demonstrates that this maybe.

His collection, released for the anniversary, Ovezdurdy Mukhatberdyev entitled “Reflection-Attraction”. Obviously it's no coincidence the author put into the title exactly what he always tried to reflect the reality surrounding him in the pictures, while gravitating towards scientific research. And in this regard, perhaps the most an accurate assessment of the personality of the hero of the day in the collection was given by the journalist and Mukhametberdyev's close associate Bekdurdy Amansaryev. This is how he speaks about the author of the paintings: “Between these two there is no abyss in hypostases. Science is a process at its finest creative, and the artist’s work on the painting is akin to meticulous research. Both there and here are “dissected” under a microscope and in telescopes of the author’s consciousness some life phenomena and situations, performances, events. Both there and here - an experiment and classification, creation of something original, unprecedented, generating ideas.”

According to those closely acquainted with Ovezdurdy Mukhametberdyev, he himself he doesn't consider himself an artist. He draws for his soul and his own pleasure, which gives a special meaning to his work. How Amansaryev adds: “in the works of Ovezdurdy Mukhametberdiev - the artist has the warmth and simplicity of ordinary “thinking” and at the same time the penetrating gaze of a disinterested observer, noticing such characteristic subtleties and intangible details that make composition with a small story, one of those stories that old friends share among themselves when they meet.”

Reviews about Mukhametberdyev from many other cultural, artistic and educational figures, speakers at the opening of the exhibition of the author's works.

Exhibition of artistic works by Ovezdurdy Mukhammatberdiev demonstrated only one artistic facet of talent, the other is the one that “attracted” all her life, did not let go and led to the fact that the hero of the day became a candidate of philosophy, and then Doctor of Sociological Sciences.

And there is no doubt that by combining these two lines of his life, Ovezdurdy Mukhammetberdyev will achieve new creative successes and how scientist and as an artist.
