Statement
“Art is an escape from reality, a gateway to a world brimming with imagination, fantasies, and a delicate touch of eroticism. My work seeks to surprise and engage the viewer, inviting them into a narrative woven from the vibrant threads of women's experiences—their introspective search for self, their passions, love, and desires. I endeavor to capture and convey these themes through a vivid interplay of colors and lines, each piece a testament to the depth and complexity of feminine existence. Drawing deeply from my roots in Baku, a city where diverse cultures converge against a backdrop of historic architecture, and my current residence in the vibrant landscapes of Ecuador, my art reflects a unique blend of influences. These environments, rich in color, texture, and emotion, serve as an inexhaustible wellspring of inspiration for my exploration of the female form and psyche. Art, in my view, should not only captivate but also provoke thought and evoke emotion, challenging the viewer to see beyond the surface. Through my work, I aim to offer a reflection on the beauty and intricacy of the world of women, their inner and outer journeys, and the universal quest for meaning and connection”.
