CURATION TEAM
Curation is the enduring resonance of artistic expression.
BAKU
​I began my practice in traditional oil painting before transitioning into digital media. Over time, my work evolved toward a more minimal yet emotionally resonant style, where technique meets simplicity. Through this shift, I discovered a visual language that allowed me to explore quiet, intimate moments with precision and softness. I had the chance to work with painters, 3D artists and photographers from here (Canada) and elsewhere. Artists such as : Dirty Robot, Mc Monster, Archan Nair, Aeforia, Nikolas Tower, ANIMVS, Jf Lemay and others. I always been fascinated by the work of artists. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to take on the role of curator for Suburbs Gallery.
