Anar Huseynzade lives and works in Baku, Azerbaijan. Anar has been drawing since the age of six, surprising his family when he went to a painting circle at the House of Pioneers and methodically, with enviable and painstaking patience, passed through each stage of education, to receive a Master’s in Fine Arts from the Art Academy, Azerbaijan. Anar has a clear idea of his objective as an artist – to destroy borders and to fill the space that exists in traditional fine art in Azerbaijan. Anar has taken part in collective exhibitions in Turkey, Germany, Switzerland, Uzbekistan, Moldova and England. In addition, Anar is a member of the Union of Artists of Azerbaijan and has exhibited works throughout Azerbaijan since 2005. Exhibitions of specific note include; solo exhibition Legends Speak (Baku, 2004), Tale of Absheron (Azerbaijan Cultural Center, Vienna, Council of Europe’s Art Club, Strasbourg, 2018), Karabakh (Azerbaijani Cultural Association, Luxembourg, 2018), Fabulous City (UN Headquarters, Geneva, 2007). His work Sunny City was presented to the Prime Minister of Turkey in 2009. Many of Anar’s works are held in private collections across the USA, UK, Switzerland, Turkey, Greece, Australia and Norway.
