Have you ever bought fresh flowers and placed them in a vase, taking painstaking care of them? Have you tried to care for them and keep them radiant, only to watch them wilt no matter your efforts? So have I. But in the end, no matter how much we protect them, time wears away their splendor. So it is with human relationships as well. No matter how hard we try to care for them, the passage of time withers them. In "Head on Fire", you will find a tribute to the human portrait and figurative painting, an invitation to contemplate the beauty of the classic through a contemporary look. Each brushstroke is an attempt to capture human complexity and vulnerability. About the artist: Nina Narimanova,Azerbaijan I've been drawing for as long as I remember myself.
