ARTIST STATEMENT
Ayan’s lives in her own inner world, from where solar prominences splash imagination onto canvases and she is not bound by any conventional forms of artistry. In her works, she showcases a host of expressions, emotions and mood swings that are captivated by a feminine nature, and a rhythmic undertone. Ayan’s creativity lies in the mirror of one’s soul. She uses the colours of her works to assign rhythm and deep meaning in an abstract ornament, as well as saturated patterns that can be found hidden in still life or landscape.
The language of art is an unparalleled force of her expression, the freedom of visual expression where even the most paradoxical ideas can touch and be united is the underlying concept that she creates. Ayan primarily works with oil on canvas however she has experimented with mixed media and various other techniques.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ayan Aziz Mammadova was born in Baku, Azerbaijan, ever since she was little, she remembers spending a lot of time in her father’s workshop, watching him passionately work on his paintings and dreaming that one day she will find her passion. These are her earliest childhood memories, which in fact inspired and shaped me into the creative individual she is today.
Being surrounded by vibrant and talented artists from a young age had a great influence on her artistic formation. However, as she grew and became older her artistic style changed, and she acquired a host of expressions, emotions, and moods that capture feminine warmth, sensitivity, and emotional complexity.
