The June plein air titled “Under the Open Sky” has been held at
Arts Council Azerbaijan art residence in Mardakan,
Azernews reports.
Organised by the NGO Arts Council Azerbaijan, this interactive
creative event aims to support and develop talented artists.
The main purpose of plein air events is to provide artists with
the opportunity to gather frequently in an informal setting to
create paintings together, share experiences and energy, and create
works of art outdoors. Such events promote constant communication
between artists, stimulate their development, and promote their
creativity.
Traditionally, from early morning, the participants of the
event, among whom were both young artists and older generation
masters, worked in the open air. Well-known artists Dadash
Mammadov, Malak Abbaszade, Laman Hajiyeva, Huseyn Kangarli, Samira
Faizova, Ruslan Rustamov, Aliya Asadullayeva, and Naila Maharramova
took part in the plein air.
Such events help develop talent and strengthen cultural ties
within the artist community.
