Born Jan. 4 (16), 1900, in Ashkhabad aul (village), now part of the city of Ashkhabad; died Jan. 2, 1965, in an airplane crash. Soviet painter. People’s Artist of the Turkmen SSR (1947).

From 1926 to 1930, Nurali studied under P. V. Kuznetsov at VKhUTEIN (Higher Art and Technical Institute in Moscow). He taught at the Turkmen Art School in Ashkhabad from 1932 to 1948.
