The personal exhibition Carpet Magic Through the Echoes of Centuries by Milena Nabiyeva, prominent artist and member of the Union of Artists of Azerbaijan and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is now open at the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum.
The exhibition features about 50 artworks created by the artist in different periods. The Azerbaijani carpet compositions and ornaments occupy a special place in these artworks. On top of that, national architecture, nature and floral motifs are perfectly reflected through contemporary fine art.
Milena Nabiyeva stands out due to her unique approach. Firstly, she depicts ornaments on canvas, then she creates the main plot using that rich background. This method allows to create a perfect harmony between the carpet motifs and Azerbaijani architectural monuments, nature, etc. Quince from the Garden of Eden, Sunday Morning, Malibeyli, Falling in Love, Love Bouquet, Self-Confidence Bouquet artworks are very interesting in this regard. They bring together the aesthetic codes of the past and the modern thinking and express great respect to our history and rich culture through the pattern language.
