He was born in 1974 in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. After graduating from Benkov Art School in Tashkent, he continued his miniature studies under the supervision of miniature master Shahmahmud Muhammadjanov and Fahriddin Rahmatullayev. In 2019, he completed his undergraduate education and his master's degree in 2023 at Fatih Sultan Mehmet Vakıf University, where he is currently continuing his doctoral programme.

Ashurov, who has been interested in miniature art for more than thirty years, creates his works especially inspired by stories from oral tradition. Much of his work is based on the deep philosophical and humanistic perspectives in these stories. The artist adopts Central Asian styles and follows the Behzâd style of Mehmet Siyah Kalem, which keeps the use of objects and colour to a minimum.

In Ashurov's miniatures, themes such as history, mythology, folklore and mysticism stand out, and especially scenes of war, ceremony and feast attract attention. He is one of the rare artists who revived the art of miniature and Central Asian style, which was widespread in Bukhara until the beginning of the 20th century but was forgotten during the Soviet Union era.

Ashurov's works have been exhibited in many cities in Central Asia as well as in important galleries in America and Europe, and are included in the collections of prestigious institutions such as the British Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum. In addition, his works are included in various private collections in the USA, Europe, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Mongolia.
