Caspian sea 

Boyukagha Mirzazade's painting captures the Caspian Sea with bold brushstrokes, evoking a sense of depth and intensity through the dark sea and looming sky. The sea itself, an ancient symbol, appears here as both a boundary and a passage, mirroring its historical roles in trade, exploration, and mythology. Think back to ancient mariners navigating by stars, or to the flood myths prevalent across cultures—the sea represents both promise and threat. Its depiction echoes the concept of the "Unconscious," vast and deep, holding mysteries and primal instincts. Across time, the image of the sea has appeared in different contexts. From the romantic seascapes of the 19th century, which celebrated nature's grandeur, to the abstract expressionists, who saw it as a canvas for inner emotions. The emotional weight of the painting draws viewers into a deeper connection with the power of nature and the subconscious, engaging us in a non-linear dialogue where ancient symbols resurface with renewed emotional force.
