Huseyn Hagverdiyev

Huseyn Hagverdi has worked with different media, including sculpture, drawing and created monumental art. He produced the statue of St. Maria at the Catholic cathedral in Baku and a monumental mosaic panel of the Caspian legend in the Sangachal oil terminal. In 2003 he was named the Honoured Artist of Azerbaijan.
Haqverdi is equally proficient in sculpture, graphic work and painting. In ad­dition, he is an avid photographer and video artist. However, he is known to the majority of people, both in Azerbaijan and abroad, primarily as a sculp­tor and it was as such that he has participated, in numerous exhibitions and symposiums both in Azerbaijan and abroad since 1980.

Huseyn Hagverdi has many smaller sized sculptures. However, he is equally suc­cessful in monumental works. Thus, his mosaic The Legend of the Caspian Sea was perfectly integrated into the territory of the Sangachal oil and gas terminal. Hagverdi is also the artist who created the statue of the Virgin Mary adorning the Baku Catholic Church. The generalized, laconic form of this massive sculpture is a reflection of Hagverdi’s general artistic taste. He develops any topic in depth, highlighting its most significant aspects and ignoring the trivialities.

Huseyn Hagverdi graduated from Azimzadeh State Art College in Baku, Azerbaijan in 1975 and from the Mukhin High Art and Industrial Academy in St Petersburg, Russia in 1980.
