“A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.” - Paul Cezanne

I am an Azerbaijani freelance artist based in Doha, Qatar.

My family influenced my artistic path by taking me to art classes and exhibitions since childhood. It became a passion of mine and a major part of my identity development. Over the years, I took art classes and learnt different techniques. By copying master artists, I developed my own technique and style. I create mostly ink drawings, both illustrative and abstract, which has many elements to it such as surrealism, monochrome.

I’m also inspired by Geometric Patterns in Islamic Art, since I moved to Doha in 2018

My paintings are a representation of my personal journey through art. Each drawing represents certain memory and what I have been going through in that timeline. What started as a hobby grew into an obsession.
