Shamo – is a real Absheron artist who reveals around the world in a completely unexpected and incomprehensible ways. He is able playing the usual forms while transforming them beyond recognition, the commonness in the artist’s canvases regenerates into grotesque associative variety of symbols and hidden meanings. Shamo conceals the very multifaceted creativity.
He has worked with ceramics and wood, which also is reflected in a certain approach while creating shapes and volumes, use of local colors in contrast as well as sonorous combination. Shamo remarkably fully experienced the uniqueness of Azerbaijani national colors in a finely captured facial features and comic situations.
He is the artist with a happy creative destiny, is able to make the others happy. Shamo lived with his art, in his fragile, mysterious and tidy world with neither self-confident ambitions, nor thirst of glory. The glory has found him itself. But the world of Shamo is concentrated within the walls of his workshop. Here in the imaginations of the artist the true fair life of the artist used to live with the life absurd and farfetched outside it. His pictures bestow common good and positive mood upon people, always raise a smile and force us to believe that there is nothing more ridiculously in life, than life.
