BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 19. An exhibition
by Peruvian artist Sol Alejo entitled “The Imaginary World Between
the Andes and the Caucasus” has opened at the Heydar Aliyev Center,
Trend reports.
The main characters in the works on display are alpacas, which
have become a symbol of the Andean plateau. In Sol Alejo's
paintings, they are depicted with human emotions.
Visitors can also see works created by the artist specifically
for the Baku exhibition. In these works, presented for the first
time, the author depicts her characters against the backdrop of
historical monuments and landmarks in Baku and Shamakhi: on an
alpaca farm in Shamakhi, on the Ferris wheel in Baku, while
visiting Baku Boulevard, in front of the Heydar Aliyev Center, and
in other places.
Sol Alejo, who has participated in more than 60 local and
international exhibitions, has been interested in art since her
early years. Inspired by the nature of the Andes and the Caucasus
Mountains, she emphasizes that art acts as a bridge between
cultures, using the generalized image of alpacas, which know no
boundaries and live in both the Andes and the Caucasus Mountains.
In her works, alpacas carry not only a storyline but also a
symbolic and emotional meaning.
