Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum opens exhibition “Carpet Magic Through the Echoes of Centuries” - PHOTOS
On September 17, the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum opened the personal exhibition “Carpet Magic Through the Echoes of Centuries” by Milena Nabiyeva, a prominent artist and member of both the Union of Artists of Azerbaijan and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
At the opening ceremony, speeches were delivered by Amina Melikova, Director of the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum; Arif Huseynov, People’s Artist and Professor; Aydin Rajabov, Head of the Decorative and Applied Art Department of the Union of Artists of Azerbaijan and People’s Artist; Kubra Aliyeva, Honored Art Worker and Professor; and Razi Nurullayev, Deputy of the National Assembly. They highlighted the artist’s creativity and the significance of the exhibition.
The exhibition showcases more than 40 artworks created by Nabiyeva across different periods. Azerbaijani carpet compositions and ornaments occupy a special place in these works, alongside national architecture, nature, and floral motifs, all skillfully reflected through contemporary fine art.
Milena Nabiyeva is distinguished by her unique method: she first paints the ornaments on canvas and then develops the main plot against this richly detailed background. This approach creates perfect harmony between carpet motifs and images of Azerbaijani architectural monuments, landscapes, and cultural elements. Works such as “Quince from the Garden of Eden,” “Sunday Morning,” “Malibeyli,” “Falling in Love,” “Love Bouquet,” and “Self-Confidence Bouquet” stand out in this regard, blending the aesthetic codes of the past with modern artistic vision. They convey deep respect for Azerbaijani history and culture through the language of patterns.
The exhibition is hosted at the Carpet Museum in recognition of Nabiyeva’s extensive use of national carpet themes. The museum, which consistently supports artists working with carpet motifs, considers this exhibition an outstanding example of such support.
Nabiyeva’s works have previously been exhibited in Baku, Paris, Ankara, and Saint Petersburg. “Carpet Magic Through the Echoes of Centuries” represents the next stage of her artistic journey, presenting Azerbaijani cultural heritage through colors, patterns, and innovative ideas.
The exhibition will run until September 21.
