When he was fourteen, his uncle, the sculptor Khamro Zoirov, took him as an apprentice to his workshop. Davron Toshev's apprenticeship took place in this workshop for four years. But he met his main teacher in Tashkent, in a painting studio. The artist Khurshid Nazirov discovered in 1990 in Davron Toshev the gift of a miniaturist.

His miniatures are a state of special inspiration from the lyrics of the literature of the East, from which he draws plots for his work.
