The harmonies in nature
- • Tamilla is an experienced tapestry maker
- • Her life journey is about learning and teaching tapestry
- • She weaves compositions inspired by archaeological findings
The work of Tamilla Abdullayeva builds on the rich carpet and tapestry heritage of Azerbaijan, and yet her style is not constrained by a specific artistic direction or weaving method. After she learned tapestry making in Tbilisi under the guidance of Givi Kandarelli, Tamilla decided she did not want to create according to traditional techniques. Instead, Tamilla reimagines abstract, contemporary patterns with sharp transitions in colour – a method she also encourages her university students to follow. In her work, Tamilla often depicts Azerbaijani sites, such as the Absheron Olive Garden in Baku. Her main inspiration is always nature, as she believes that all in nature is beautiful and refined, and that it contains perfect colour harmonies.
