Ramina Saadatkhan
Azerbaijan
The energy of color, the feast of paints, the pulsating rhythms that burst beyond the canvas, the unusual shapes – these are what come to mind when you look at Ramina Saadathan’s paintings. These canvases may be classified as Abstract Expressionist paintings with some figurative elements.
The works have a metaphysical orientation. The extreme expression of the lines and stains, has a strong magical effect, leading to a pre-human world. They are images of a garden of paradise. An imaginary world of dreams. Some, are very much like the elaborate ritual masks masterfully crafted by primitive artists. We see exotic plants, fantastic flowers, prehistoric insects, and animals. All this rampant and magmatic world seems to come alive on Ramina’s canvases and enchant the viewer with its magic.
The artist creates controlled chaos, where one image morphs into another. They are musical and belong to a pre-language world of pure passions and innocent effect. In this Eden, the world is not yet divided into male and female, good and evil, light and dark, sexuality and innocence, righteousness and sin, good and bad.
