A path as clear as glass

  • • Bakhtiyar makes symbolic stained glass works
  • • He specialises in Tiffany style, fusing and painting
  • • He is also a professor of art at the Academy of Arts

Stained glass maker and university arts teacher Bakhtiyar Yusifov was forever invested in stained glass. He trained in stained glass at university and later became a professor of painting, pursuing his glass work on the side. He prioritises diligence in his work, believing that only love and effort can produce something truly colourful. His dedication is palpable in every one of his glass works, be it a Tiffany style chandelier or a fused candle holder. Bakhtiyar finds inspiration in his country, Azerbaijan, its history and traditions. “It is necessary to reflect nationality, how else can you be different?” he ponders. Bakhtiyar is committed to passing on his craft to the younger generations in the years to come.
