If you live by yourself, you’ve made do without human touch for months on end; if you’re crammed into a small space with your partner, kids and your parents, you may have spent weeks craving time and space not encroached upon by other human beings. What an imbalance! Lockdown, then not-lockdown, then lockdown again have served as a reminder of just how adaptable we are as human beings. I was amazed at how quickly the idea of socialising with friends indoors became a fuzzy memory, then the norm, then distant again. The emotions I felt so acutely back in March – the sharp fear Covid could steal my parents, the communal endeavour of clapping for our carers every Thursday night – soon faded into a new normal, impossible to sustain even though many of the realities have barely changed. The woman is the depiction of those feelings, emotions and fears. Life has changed... Do not be afraid you are still alive...

Life after 2020

Each person has two sides. Sometimes they compete...”.Apparently, the second side is one's Ego! Mask…There is some unsolved mystery...The mystery of being,the mystery of human-being...Why do people wear a mask?Does it help to conceal their second unsightly essence?May be someone does not want to display their good deeds and prefers to keep it unseen...There are those who prefer to stay behind the scenes,not showing off and make a parade of own deeds. One must admit that in different situations different facets of a person's nature appears.Sometimes,someone is forced to wear a mask and not only because of the current Covid 19 pandemic...After all,viruses also vary...One has to beware of malicious intent,backstabbing or an evil eye.One who feels and wants to be protected needs to weak a mask(figuratively)using it for protection like an armor.There are others who have to put on a mask so that he/she does not to look like a "black sheep" among the crowd...In order to be respected in a society with its unwavering values.The laws of community in which he/she is destined to live makes one to act in an accordance.Have you ever wondered how different one can be?!Courteous with his/her superiors and harsh with his/her subordinates...Human being acts differently...One is never ready for betrayal, treason or unfaithful actions.One gets tormented facing such turns…Compare the same person in two different situations.Imagine someone bending over to the cradle of a trustingly smiling baby and suddenly visualize the same person’s face facing an enemy who is not respecting the territorial integrity of his/her homeland. Behind the mask one hides the pain of loss,the bitterness of defeat but most importantly,one continuous to live hiding his/her failures with a smile.Rising again and again and finally finding courage to carry on no matter what it takes!Is not this a polysemy?The many-sidedness of the masks the essence of man in different hypostases of his existence, survival,defeat and victory in this multidimensional and many-sided World.

Is it a life or a theatre?

Matricaria is a rising star of the Sun Valley. Matricaria in its essence is about “movement.” The playful blooms lead the eye around any arrangement and the delicate blossoms spring around the focal. Matricaria adds immediate levity to our lives. The flowers are radially symmetrical. The greenish-yellow capitula are semi-spherical. The white ray florets can be present or lacking. The receptacle is 2–3 times as high as wide. The pappus may be crown-shaped and short, or lacking. In this painting I wanted to show the balance of colors that nourishes viewers eyes with harmony. A bit of "even evil may care"

Loves me, loves me not...

For millennia, the horse was a faithful friend and companion of man. Despite the development of science and technical progress, in the modern world, interest in horse breeding has not changed at all. Perhaps the most famous Azerbaijani national breed of horses is the Karabakh horse, whose birthplace is Karabakh. However, it can be said that this breed is distributed throughout the territory of Azerbaijan and is developing well in all regions of our country. Karabakh horses are a symbol of the country’s national heritage. Modern Karabakh horses are medium-sized animals, about 144-154 cm high at the withers, with a neck of medium length, a small head, a deep and wide chest, and well-developed muscles. Horses of this breed are distinguished by clear and fast movements, harmonious physique. Precisely because of this, in folklore, the horses of the Karabakh breed were often compared to gazelles. Karabakh horses have a beautiful color. The color of the Karabakh breed can be red, buckthorn, brown, bay, gray or golden-red, which is also called the “golden glow”.

Autumn is part of a series of four paintings dedicated to the four seasons.  Resonating the impressionist perception of light and the immediateness of painting the ever-changing perceptions of Nature, its own changes and consistencies, its energy and relentlessness. I explore the essence of the colours and the dynamics of the profound link of the observer and its subject, intrinsic values of the natural elements that touch me very deeply.

Autumn

Summer is part of a series of four paintings dedicated to the four seasons.  Resonating the impressionist perception of light and the immediateness of painting the ever-changing perceptions of Nature, its own changes and consistencies, its energy and relentlessness. I explore the essence of the colours and the dynamics of the profound link of the observer and its subject, intrinsic values of the natural elements that touch me very deeply.  This work combines a pure impressionist and a pointillistic eye. Here, I aimed to explore the freshness of summer through mixed cool colours. The subtle insinuation of a watery surface and reflections of light extend the presence of a tree inhabited portion of landscape. Here, Form and volume are hinted, hidden in plain sight, present and fleeing at once.
