Love what you do, do what you love.

My first post will be dedicated to a very talented lady, an Art Consultant and art collector- Farah Piriyeva. From her early childhood she was trying to reach her goals, and the results are very impressive. I would like to start from the very first moment, when she realized, who she wants to become in future.

Her first professional experience was done at “Buta Art Centre” in December 2006, when she participated in organizing charity events for homeless children in Baku and various regions of Azerbaijan.

  

 

Her first diploma Farah received in Moscow, studying Accounting in Russian Plekhanov Academy of Economics, after which in 2008 she moved to London, the city that changed her life completely. Here she realized she wants to utterly dedicate her life to art. The passion for art was developed long before though, because her parents have always been passionate art collectors, and she has always seen beautiful Azeri works of art around her.

In London Farah went to study in Sotheby's Institute of Art

                 

While studying in Sotheby’s, she continued working, and together with Buta Art Centre in February 2010, she organized a brilliant exhibition “Unseen Salakhov” of a very famous Azeri artist Tair Salakhov in Sotheby’s Auction House on Bond Street; Sotheby’s Morning  Master Class (prior the exhibition) with Salakhov for Sotheby’s students, her schoolmates;  “Oil and Jazz” project, an exhibition of various Azeri artists in European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in London.Farah participated in all visual art events of the 100 days of Buta Festival of Azerbaijani Arts in London.

Farah did her Masters degree in Fine and Decorative Arts in Sotheby’s Institute of Art, after which she did her first internship in Sotheby’s Auction House and then went to work for a very well known London based art gallery Alon Zakaim Fine Art. She was participating in various art fairs such as TEFAF in Maastricht,

and started to run a blog www.walking-in-art-rhythm.com. , that discusses Art and Psychoanalysis. In her blog she is writing about different artists, such as Manet, Caravaggio, Modigliani, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Steve McCurry and others, analyzing the psychological basis of their artworks.

Her penmanship is very unusual and her thoughts are deep, moreover she was always writing poems and stories when she was a child, no wonder why she was kindly invited by a Nargis Magazine to write an article for them, which was published in their second edition.

Every word written by Farah in her blog is a great example of her wide imagination, strong knowledge and sophistication of her thought, it shows how much she loves her job and running this blog is her true passion, for she loves sharing all those thoughts of her with us, beautiful short stories written in a slow and constant art rhythm.

Thank you Miss Farah Piriyeva for showing us the world of art from a different perspective, through your eyes and introducing us to this beautiful art world.
