Regina Rzaeva is a graduate of the Azerbaijan University of Culture and Art with a degree in fashion design. She uses traditional painting techniques and works with different materials and fabrics. For the artist, the fabric ground is an essential component of her paintings. Using the technique of thin lettering, she applies the paint in fine vertical lines along the fabric structure of the canvas, entering into a dialogue with the surface texture. Rzaeva describes her artistic method as observational. For her, art is an integral part of philosophising and recognising the concept of time. With the subtlety, “tremulousness” and lightness of her works, the artist wants to draw attention to the impermanence and fragility of self-perception.
