Oil on canvas

Set against a semi-transparent, optically fluid, and dimly lit background, a seemingly chaotic row of over a dozen vases emerges. Some appear in full, rendered in meticulous detail; others are cropped, fragmented, or partially obscured - as if caught mid-passage through the frame. Each is distinct in form, curvature, color, and floral content, and yet they collectively form a unity of uncertain origin. For Niyaz Najafov, lines serve as a fundamental language of communication. The transparency of objects becomes a marker of the inner self, a way to render the unseen visible.
