Mouk (b. 2004, Baku) is a contemporary artist working primarily in oil painting. His technique is defined by bold, expressive brushwork, where layers of thick paint create a dynamic sense of movement and depth. Rooted in intense observation, his process involves continuous reworking, allowing forms to emerge and dissolve within the canvas. Through this approach, he captures the raw energy of his subjects, balancing structure and spontaneity. Mouk’s artistic journey extends beyond Baku, gaining international recognition through his participation in Art Vilnius 2024, where his works were exhibited under the umbrella of Galleria 89 Cento. His success in Lithuania marked a significant step in his career, introducing his unique painterly style to a wider audience. Whether painting from life or working from quick sketches, Mouk’s practice remains deeply personal and instinctive. His use of color, contrast, and texture conveys a strong sense of presence, making each piece feel alive—never fully settled, always in motion.
