Magic carpets of Azerbaijani artist (PHOTO)

Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov. 14

Trend:

The Guardian posted an article dedicated to Faig Ahmed, an Azerbaijani artist doing remarkable things with carpets.

Unlike traditional floor rugs, Ahmed’s rugs are intended to adorn walls – like the art form they are, said the article.

Ahmed’s carpet art – in which he distorts traditional designs – is coveted around Europe and the US (less so in Baku), where pieces sell for upwards of $15,000, according to the article.
