By Nazrin Gadimova

It would seem impossible to come up with something new in art and even more impossible to surprise; but masters of chiaroscuro are able to not just surprise, but also amaze a spectator.

Plastic bottles, tubes, or just pieces of plastic... all these 'materials' are used in this kind of art. All that is needed is to install or hang them in the established order and then turn on the lights.

Today, few people dare to work with light and shadow, as the main instrument in such a work is not a brush with paint, but imagination.

That is why Azerbaijani artist Rashad Alakbarov can safely be reckoned among a small galaxy of creators who manage to create a finished product using shadows.

Each of his painting has its own story, describing a separate event in his life.

Having a quite different, but interesting, approach towards the arts, Alakbarov realized that he sees what ordinary eyes cannot observe in 2000.
