Reflection of the traditions typical for the Azerbaijani carpet weaving art in the works by E.Mikailzade

Abstract

Throughout the centuries the Azerbaijani people have created a unique carpet art with rich traditions. In modern times, the development of Azerbaijani carpet art is distinguished by its specificity and originality. The source for creative search of carpet artists is the traditional artistic methods and techniques embodied in classical carpets, which are world-wide art works. Eldar Mikayilzade‘s creativity is a vivid example of loyalty to modern Azerbaijani carpet weaving traditions. The art style in his works reflects the basic principles of the Tabriz carpet-weaving school, as his work can be regarded as a decent continuation of that school for the modern stage.
