"Petrel". Rashid Abdulmyanov Automatic translate

"Zen-style paintings."

Zen is a state of contemplation.

Going nowhere and existing outside of time, the artist comprehends the dazzling glimpses of the universe, which illuminate in memory randomly turned up images, whether it is the dawn of a cool autumn morning, or the flight of a bird in the ray of sunshine before a thunderstorm. Each embodied image is an echo of such moments.

The name of the exhibition “Petrel” symbolizes a vivid emotional experience, a storm of emotions, impressions, feelings that expand consciousness and become the potential of the soul. An artist, having experienced such moments, transfers them to the canvases, showing his view of things or events. He does not impose or affirm, but only offers to look at these things or events with a different look and, having looked inside himself, to feel an echo or response outside.
