Parviz Abasov was born in 1992 in Baku. His interest in drawing began as a child. From the age of 6-7, he took his first steps in the world of art, attending various drawing clubs, painting and sculpture. He received his first art education in 2008-2012 at the Azim Azimzade Art College, majoring in sculpture. In 2015-2019, he received a bachelor’s degree at the Azerbaijan State Academy of Arts. In an effort to further improve his skills and abilities in sculptural creativity, Parviz Abasov continued his studies at the academy (2021-2022), receiving a master’s degree upon completion. There he also took sculpture lessons from the People’s Artist of Azerbaijan, the outstanding sculptor Fuad Salayev, whose training in his creative workshop played an exceptional role in Abasov becoming a good artist in the future. Despite the fact that Parviz Abasov was educated in the field of sculpture, he was able to find his creative path in painting. As the artist says, he can better express himself with the help of colors and comfortably convey his message to the viewer. Although his works do not carry any special philosophical content, they convey the energy of creation and delight. Parviz Abasov’s creative activity is a great impetus for the development of Azerbaijani painting in the modern context. Since 2019, he has been a member of the Azerbaijan Artists’ Union. He actively participates in many exhibitions and art competitions. In 2016, Abasov took part in the exhibition titled Shoes, organized by Gallery 25, with the sculptural work New Step. Parviz Abasov also participated in the art competition Shipping - 160, organized in 2018 in connection with the 160th anniversary of the Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company (ASCO), and the exhibition 100 Shades of the Century, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev, which was held at the Heydar Aliyev Center in 2023. In 2019, the artist created a bust of the great Turkish commander, General of the Ottoman army Nuri Pasha, which was installed in the Turkish Embassy in Azerbaijan. Parviz Abasov’s love for Baku and its traditions complements the works not only in theme, but also in style and drawing technique. His paintings demonstrate the synthesis and successful unification of two different times.
