I am thankful to everyone who reads these words!

I am thankful for using Your time and giving consideration on my creative work.

I am 63 years old. I am a retiree and live in Baku. At the age of 55 I started to paint and I am involved in painting until today. During all these years I have painted dozens of paintings. In recent years I pay special attention to the choice of themes.

To pay a tribute to the reality, to remember the past, to look forward to the future, shortly – to see. I try to paint in such a way that You will notice details which You did not see yesterday. Like in jazz, as if You have heard for several times, but today these notes sound differently. In other words, to complement Your mood by the energy coming from my works.

Everything which attracts my attention in the sorrounding world is reflected in my works. This gives me the power to do something and when I get some result, even if this is not a masterpiece, every new painting gives me pleasure. Every day when I see finesse of the painting art my main task becomes to think on all details – color contrasts, technology, to use phantasy and to reveal the secrets of the Almighty. This gives me pleasure of life.

Regarding the works demonstrated in this cataloque, I imagive them as the work of M.Lomonosov “My universities”.

In the process of evolution I did not know what to do and which way to go. I just knew that I had to be patient and work hard. My teacher is Effort.

Like all citizens of my country I love my Motherland.

As our leader said: “I am proud to be a son of Azerbaijani people!”

My mood is always boundless as I have a great love to my family.

I wish to You to watch with high mood what You see.

Kind regards,

Asif Jalal
