Painting

My Process

I started painting in 1994. My medium of choice is acrylic and fiber paste. I do not use brushes, I prefer to use sponges, spackle knives, and metal plates. In my paintings I use copper, silver and gold tones that allow me to capture different effects of lights and shadows.

My Inspiration

Growing up in Baku, one of the oldest cities in the Middle East, I developed a love and admiration for the breathtaking ancient architecture. I aim to capture the image of places and textures by combining the free flow of the medium with concrete shapes and forms.

Fun Facts

I do not use brushes. All artwork is done by using sponges, spackle knives, metal plates and found objects.
