The Studio

"The thread of carpet weaving flows through every brushstroke"

This studio in the heart of Baku has been a space of exploration for over four decades—where the vibrant colors of Azerbaijani carpets, the light of the Caspian, and the rhythm of ancient weaving traditions transform into contemporary painting and tapestry.

In my teaching at the State Academy for over twenty years, I emphasize that technique is vocabulary, not an end. The "thread"—fundamental to our carpet-weaving heritage—manifests through special brushstrokes and textured layers, creating woven structures that give my works their characteristic depth and "shadow threads."
