"Colors of Karabakh"
Baku District
The Karabakh Revival Fund (QDF) presents the project "Colors of Karabakh"
The KRF unites around the significant mission of restoration and development in the liberated territories from occupation, aiming to contribute to the restoration and construction works, and most importantly, to promote the beauty of this land and the cultural heritage of the Azerbaijani people through its new project, "Colors of Karabakh."
Within the framework of the project, 19 paintings and 4 sculptures have been created by 23 talented young artists and sculptors, students of the Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Arts, who have captured the spirit of Karabakh in their artworks.
These young artists and sculptors were selected by a jury consisting of prominent figures in our descriptive art, including Farhad Khalilov, President of the Azerbaijan Artists' Union and People's Artist; Natig Aliyev, Rector of the Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Arts and People's Artist; and Salhab Mammadov, Prorector of the Academy and People's Artist, among others, through an open competition held among more than 200 Academy students.
All expenses related to creativity, including canvases, paints, materials, frames, etc., and special scholarships for students, have been covered with the support of the Karabakh Revival Fund.
It should be noted that inspired by boundless love for Karabakh, some of the artworks expressing the unwavering spirit of Karabakh have already been put up for sale.
The remaining artworks are planned to be sold through a special gala evening charity auction soon. Subsequently, the works will be showcased in a special exhibition organized in one of Baku's most famous galleries for the public. All proceeds from the sale of the artworks will be directed towards the restoration of the Khan's Palace complex in Panahali village, located in the Agdam region, which is currently being restored with the financial support of the Karabakh Revival Fund.
It should be emphasized that donating directly to the Karabakh Revival Fund is sufficient to acquire the artworks.
Detailed information about the project and the artworks can be found on the project's official website, special catalog, and price list.
