Born in Baku, Faig Ahmed graduated in 2004 specialising in sculpture from the Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Art.
He works in installation and sculpture with his works revolving around the traditional techniques and methods of creating Azerbaijan hand-woven rugs. He then adds contemporary facets - such as pattern, colour or hybradizing the concept of a carpet in itself.
I think the combination of traditional methods and contemporary values has allowed Ahmed to create really beautiful works. Additionally the fact that he makes them by hand is an amazing concept as it would be a very laborious task. I have always been drawn to the pattern and intricacy of rugs, shawls and carpets and find this to be a really modernised and fresh take on these everyday objects.
