The exhibition “Anima”
The artist represented series of unusual expressive painting works in which component plots reduced to nothing and basically images of the colors appears (entire “floral” part) of women and music. All these facts combine by capacious notion from profound psychology “Anima” which means female substance spilled into nature, in some extent, inherent to all living being. At the part which dedicated to female and erotic subjects, it seems stylistically more specific one. But increased grade of expression and extremely ascetic composition of canvas, forming the images till affected grotesque, they turn pictures into sheer hieroglyph which vibrate the symbol through shine energetics of attraction, collecting these compositions into durable and entire node. The author never creates from her mind, just from the heart and she obeys only her female intuition which never deceives.

Mud volcanism is one of the most interesting natural geological phenomena on the Earth. Some geological, hydrogeological, and tectonic factors lead to the formation of mud volcanoes. When mixtures of gas, water, and some sediments expel at the surface of the Earth, and this process continues for a long period of time, then these mixtures take different external morphological shapes, and create mud volcanoes.
As the leaves start to turn golden and the air gets crisp, Baku is getting ready to heat things up with some incredible concerts this autumn. Whether you’re a fan of pop, rock, jazz, or something in between, this season’s lineup has something for everyone.
