Biograhy
I have long been captivated by the power of myth, story, and imagination to delve into the depths of the human experience. As a multidisciplinary artist, I construct dreamy, blue-hued worlds that speak to the complex issues of our time, inviting viewers to question underlying assumptions about existence, identity, and our place within the world.
Born with synesthesia, I experience the world in a unique symphony where colors have taste and sensory boundaries blur. This gift has influenced my creative perspective since I began painting at age four, shaping how I perceive and interact with color, texture, and form.
While this portfolio is dedicated to my paintings and visual art, my creative practice spans multiple dimensions. Beyond the canvas, I work as an experience designer crafting multi-sensorial spaces, a storyteller working in film, and a fashion designer creating sustainable wearable art. My artistic expression extends into culinary arts, where I create immersive food experiences that engage all the senses and tell stories through taste, texture, and presentation.
At the heart of my visual art practice lies a vibrant exploration of human consciousness through myth and imagination. Working with oil on canvas, watercolors, ink, and mixed media collages, my approach is deeply rooted in natural pigments, ritualistic processes, and layered textures. I am drawn to the regenerative qualities of ancient materials, from minerals transformed into vivid paints to plant-based fibers. These elemental materials reflect the sacred feminine and the cyclical rhythms of nature, engaging viewers in a sensory journey.
My artistic journey began in Baku, Azerbaijan, where I first questioned the roles and expectations placed on women in Muslim society, while finding endless inspiration in the celestial blues of ancient mosque tiles. At sixteen, I embarked on a solitary journey to the United States, where I studied at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. This education evolved into a life of creative nomadism, as I traveled the world chasing the infinite shades of blue in distant oceans and the verdant depths of tropical jungles. These experiences infuse my work with a dialogue between tradition and freedom, between rooted wisdom and boundless exploration.
