Faig Ahmad is an Azerbaijani contemporary artist based in Baku. He designs contemporary sculptural carpets by twisting the patterns of traditional Azerbaijani rugs. The forms he creates looks like digital glitches. He rejuvenates his carpets with optical illusions that tricks the eye by appearing to melt off the wall.
Ahmed explains that he loves the textile stems because of their historical value and that he has an interest for patterns because they can be found in all cultures and that he considers them words and phrases that can be read and translated to a language we understand. About his influences he says: "What influences and inspires me the most are all kinds of travel. By saying travel I mean either physical travelling to other countries where I can find and explore traditions and cults spread on this certain territory; or travelling in my subconsciousness, different practices and meditations. And there is something I believe: If you want to change the world, start with yourself. "
Here are some photos of his remarkable work.
