Azerbaijan smiling. How would you feel about bringing your art to Baku? Which pieces do you think would suit our capital the best? It is a matter of feeling, you know. I need to feel the place, the streets of Baku, see what is happening, get inspired by it. I work a lot with feelings, and to be honest, in art, anything can go anywhere. You can install something very contemporary in an old castle, for instance.
The wedding of a subject and a place is always a happy process. I place my artworks in the most unexpected locations, and it fits just okay. My conception of art is that you can place anything anywhere. What do you think about the region in general? I am very interested in that region. I have even made a sculpture of a Russian pilot. When they broke the wall as Pink Floyd sang and the Union collapsed, young people started travelling there. A new world has opened up to us; it became more accessiz ble, more open and free.

It has changed very rapidly and I still have this fascination for the region…. Do you think social media is a strong marketing tool for emerging artists — a bridge between the artist and the public? Is that really enough?

It must be hard, once you get to the top, to stay there. Do you ever feel the pressure? Yes, of course. However, this pressure is not to come first or second. My pressure is the end of life. There is still so much to do, and I am not 20 years old now. In one year, I have to do something that takes 10 years for others. I have to speed up. Many artists take from two to three years to make one sculpture. I sometimes make two pieces in a month.
I am always running forward, and I feel the stress.
Sometimes it is positive, sometimes negative, but there is something pushing me from the back. I think, when there is a good wind, you have to follow it. I also make many other things: music, design, theatre. For me, art is everything; it is not just one media. When you have some kind of sensitivity, you can express yourself in many different ways. Do you consider yourself as a workaholic? How do you balance life and work?

It is true, I am a workaholic. I have four kids, three boys and a girl; I take them everywhere, where I am working. I did the same even when they were much younger. I share everything with them, so my work and private life are very much connected, I do not have a problem with that.
How would you feel if your kids also went into art? One of them actually is studying film, playing music, guitar, and piano. I am not telling them to become artists because it is difficult. Yes, it is very difficult. How many succeeded? Five to ten?! Very few PR and social media are very important; it is not possible to live without them in our era. We have to break those stereotypes! Fifty years ago, there were no Facebook, Instagram, or platforms like that; today you can share your art with millions of people.
We are very lucky to have that, and we have to use it.

What do you think about contemporary art and contemporary art market? The art market is like any other market with its own rules, operated by powerful people. The rest just fighting each other and struggling. The contemporary art can be snobbish. It is funny, you go to an art fair and ask people if they know this artist.
I do not want to judge, I like art that gives me feelings. Do it if you can. People will love your work, or they will hate it. This does not matter; what matters is doing something. What influences were you exposed to as a young artist that helped shape or expand your work? I admire Andy Warhol, his background in publicity made him look at things differently.

He was not an artist in the very beginning. In a way, he was laughing at art. He created the hub, the place to be. If we had internet at that time, he would have been even bigger. I feel something very special towards him; he definitely created something very important. They say that the business side of art is an art form itself. How do you reconcile the two? Is there a contradiction in how thin is that line between creating art and selling it?
It is very simple: I create art to sell it; otherwise, it dies.
