Anar Huseynzada Nomad (2023)

framed: 50h × 40w cm

Acrylic on canvas

Anar’s inspiration is particularly evident in his portrait series ‘Səyyah’, which can translate to ‘nomad’. These portraits depict estranged and intimate characters . Their gazes, directed at the viewer, are alive and charged with inner energy, yet maintain a sense of detachment, like the winds of the steppe. The portraits are marked by expressiveness: sharply defined facial features, skin weathered by sun, time, or wind, bearing the imprint of existence and experience. Anar’s nomads are neither sterile nor lifeless - their vitality is showcased through a vibrant color palette, carefully chosen with a refined sense of harmony.
