Memento Mori Remember you are mortal…

Oğuz ERTEN

Azamat Kuliev, who has been grown with a sensitivity of art coming from the family and has been painting from childhood, includes the signs and iconography of the periods like Renaissance, Baroque and the custom of Russian Academy which he has studied. The academic custom, he is connected, follows the signs of Renaissance on the one hand, on the other hand the topics he deals with include the reflections of vanities and the customs of Giorgione, Caravaggio and Velasquez.

While the returns in the paintings of Azamat Kuliev, ongoing by the portrait, naturmort and religious topics, suggest us the traditional context, at the same time they emphasize the mysticism, making us feel in all painting of him. In Kuliev’s paintings the traditional art, losing its effects nowadays, comes to the forward, while the cynical figure holding a drinking glass in one hand, and a skull in the other hand, is winking by an ironic way to vanities which emphasize the inevitability of death, the transience of pleasure, the painting with the name of “Falling to Desire “is given us as a detail, is picking us off from the traditional art frame and is presenting the appearance of women in modern world perception which is joining with the traditional theme of nude women. The paintings of Kuliev both reflect the loneliness, seeking and disappearance today’s people live and carry the soul of all times with a modern realistic language.
