Tutta la varietà, tutta la delizia, tutta la bellezza della vita è composta d’ombra e di luce.
Lev Tolstoj Anna Karenina, 1877
Memento Mori / Ölümlü Olduğunu Hatırla…
Aileden gelen bir sanat duyarlılığıyla büyüyen ve çocukluğundan itibaren resim yapan Azamat Kuliev’in resimleri, eğitimini aldığı Rus Akademik geleneğini, Rönesans, Barok gibi akımların izlerini ve ikonografisini bünyesinde barındırıyor. Bağlı olduğu Akademik gelenek bir yandan Rus gerçekçiliğinin ve Rönesans’ın izlerini sürerken, ele aldığı konular Giorgione’den, Caravaggio’ya, Velázquez’e uzanan nü geleneğinin, vanitasların günümüzdeki yansımalarını içeriyor. Portre, ölü doğa ve dini konular eşliğinde süregelen bu geri dönüşler Azamat Kuliev’in resimlerinde göze çarpan bu geleneksel bağlamı akla getirirken, Kuliev’in tüm resimlerinde etkisini hissettiren mistisizmi vurguluyor. Günümüzde etkisini yitiren geleneksel sanat Kuliev’in resimlerinde ön plana çıkarken, bir elinde içki kadehi diğer elinde kurukafa tutan alaycı figür, ölümün kaçınılmazlığını, hazların geçiciliğini vurgulayan vanitaslara ironik bir şekilde göz kırpıyor, pieta sahnelerini akla getiren “Arzuya Düşüş” isimli resim geleneksel çerçevesinden koparılarak detay olarak veriliyor ve bir haz nesnesi olarak vurgulanan çıplak kadın bedeninin geleneksel temayla birleşen modern dünya algısındaki görüntüsünü ortaya koyuyor. Kuliev’in resimleri bir yandan günümüz insanının yaşadığı yalnızlığı, arayışları ve kayboluşları yansıtırken bir yandan da tüm zamanların ruhunu çağdaş realist bir dille günümüze taşıyor…
Memento Mori / Remember you are mortal…
Azamat Kuliev, who has been grown with a sensitivity of art coming from the family and has been painting from childhood, includes the signs and iconography of the periods like Renaissance, Baroque and the custom of Russian Academy which he has studied. The academic custom, he is connected, follows the signs of Renaissance on the one hand, on the other hand the topics he deals with include the reflections of vanities and the customs of Giorgione, Caravaggio and Velasquez. While the returns in the paintings of Azamat Kuliev, ongoing by the portrait, naturmort and religious topics, suggest us the traditional context, at the same time they emphasize the mysticism, making us feel in all painting of him. In Kuliev’s paintings the traditional art, losing its effects nowadays, comes to the forward, while the cynical figure holding a drinking glass in one hand, and a skull in the other hand, is winking by an ironic way to vanities which emphasize the inevitability of death, the transience of pleasure, the painting with the name of “Falling to Desire “is given us as a detail, is picking us off from the traditional art frame and is presenting the appearance of women in modern world perception which is joining with the traditional theme of nude women. The paintings of Kuliev both reflect the loneliness, seeking and disappearance today’s people live and carry the soul of all times with a modern realistic language.
