She intuitively does what others learn for years of study. She perceives the environment in an extraordinary way and allows the spectators to see the world through her eyes.
Maryam passes from the naiveté of a bouquet of flowers, to the complexity of a face, to the softness of a landscape, expressing according to her mood and inspiration, beauty, joy, melancholy.
She plays bravely with shapes and colors, creating a living, harmonious and safe world. She launches her brush on the canvas with ample gestures. , chooses the brightest colors: “The colors of the heart.”

Thierry Dufresne, a French art historian, said of Alakbarli’s work: “When I first saw his drawings and her compositions, I immediately understood what she was doing and was trying to convey through her works. It was a return to the origin. At the moment when all forms were just a light and they were all equal. “

In the era of technological triumph and total rationality, she puts a lot of sincerity, harmony and goodness into her works.

Art as a paradoxical thing gave Maryam Alakbarli a wonderful chance to express her love of nature in all its manifestations and to give us a blazing way through her works .
