In the article we considered the art of A. A. Abzgildin, folk muralist of Republic Tatarstan, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Arts, Honored art worker of Republic Tatarstan. We showed that in his art finds place various myths and religious storylines allegorically reflecting reality: antiquity, Islam, Christianity, etc., the artist tries to answer the eternal problems of mankind and the universe. Abzgildin’s works are characterized by a graphic clarity, generalized form, a special understanding of space. Interesting and unexpected compositional techniques of artist allow to build on canvas phenomenon, event, episode or whole world: a realistic and surreal, mythological, fantastic or religious. A small detail of idea begins to grow with new combinations of storylines that give the picture of duration in time, the narrative character. Artist often refers to the tricuspid compositions, creating from few elements of the picture which are equivalent to the content of whole book. Art of Abzgildin is bright example of the art reflection the specific features of modern Tatarstan, of tolerant attitude to the national culture and diverse religions of the peoples living on its territory.
