The works will remain on display in the capital of Azerbaijan for a year.
The exhibition - a tribute to the work and career of the artist born in Banari who celebrates above all the most intimate rebirth of nature - brings together more than 130 of the most significant sculptural works installed with great visibility both in the central exhibition halls and in the external area of the park of the Center . With his Germinations - as the sculptor has always called his works - which praise the precious fruits of the Earth such as germinating seeds, shoots of life, first of all his now famous and recognizable chili peppers and his pomegranates that have consecrated him as the sculptor of reality that conveys universal messages of peace, hope and Germination, the artist dialogues and contaminates the exhibition spaces of the Heydar Aliyev Center with new emotions. Heydar Aliyev - is a cultural center of absolute world prestige, spread over 57,000 square meters, which fits into the important Asian cultural context and authoritatively focuses in itself the promotion of international art together with the majestic historical heritage of the great Azerbaijani people.
The result of careful research and careful planning, Giuseppe Carta arrives in Baku at the official invitation of the senior management of the Heydar Aliyev Center as a world-famous artist with a significant impact on the arts and culture sector. The goal of the center hosting the exhibition is to present the works of important artists to the Azerbaijani people, government delegations, students and visitors, many of whom come every year from all over the world. The large exhibition brings together important works by the Italian artist with soft lines and natural realism, including several monumental works and numerous ones created specifically for the exhibition event, which is loaded with fertile symbolism because every fruit, child of the earth and nature, is a source of beauty and nourishment that germinates day after day with earthly and spiritual values.
