Have you ever seen a rug that looks likedrips of paint on the wall, on a strange figure, striving upward, on the color music frozen in a silent dance? No? Then read and watch! What could be more conservative in the applied arts than traditional woolen Persian carpets, which have been made for many centuries in strict form, color and pattern? The question seems to be rhetorical. However, there was a person who refuted all ideas about the inviolability of the principles of creating these iconic national works of art. This is the Baku artist Faig Ahmed. He combined classics and eclecticism, past and future, flatness and volume, warm and round. 
It's hard to say if oriental carpets have becomelook modern in the interpretation of Faig Ahmed, but it is absolutely possible to say that once you see them with your own eyes or in photographs, it is impossible to forget them. It's like not thinking about a white elephant when it lives in your soul. And these amazing works of art immediately and forever conquer the soul of the audience. Admire them too. 
Art critics are trying to fail somean intellectual and creative basis for the unusual concept of the Baku master. Some say that in his art he symbolically reflects the social and political processes taking place in the East. Others argue that the modernization of folk traditions gives impetus to a new round of their development. Still others believe that Ahmed is simply experimenting and he himself never knows in advance what will turn out as a result of mixing geometric shapes, contrasting colors, unusual volumetric figures, as if growing on a plane. But everyone agrees on one thing: this is real art that has yet to be appreciated!
