Baku, Azerbaijan, April 1. A new gem in the
crown of creativity has taken center stage at the Heydar Aliyev
Center, beginning its dance on April 1, Trend reports.
The unveiling of “My Heart Is Yours,” a breathtaking creation by
the Italian artisan Lorenzo Quinn, sculpted from the shimmering
essence of Bohemian crystal and the ancient whispers of a
6,500-year-old oak, heralds its grand entrance at the heart of the
center.
Anar Alakbarov, Director of the Heydar Aliyev Center,
illuminated that the venue often serves as a canvas for a myriad of
exhibitions, each stroke revealing a steadfast dedication to the
vibrant tapestry of Italian art.
Reflecting on the successful display of Quinn’s previous
exhibition, “Balance in Nature,” at the COP29 summit, Alakbarov
expressed gratitude to Quinn, the curator, and all those who
contributed to bringing the exhibition to life.
Olga Daniele, founder of “365 Art” and curator of the
exhibition, spoke about the long creative journey that went into
the final form of “My Heart is Yours.” She explained that the
unique style of working with crystal was essential to the work’s
creation, while the ancient oak tree material, with its
millennia-long history, served as an integral component.
Lorenzo Quinn, the artist behind the sculpture, expressed his
excitement about the piece’s debut at the Heydar Aliyev Center. He
emphasized the power of art to unite people, histories, and
nations.
“I believe in love. When people meet and their hearts unite,
they never really separate. There is a bond between them that
becomes unbreakable. The work ‘My Heart is Yours,’ crafted from
ancient oak, symbolizes the enduring nature of lasting
relationships,” he said.
“My Heart is Yours” is a delicate tapestry woven with threads of
fragility and grace, a masterpiece that dances on the edge of
vulnerability. The masterpiece showcases a robust oak heart, a
beacon of resilience, cradled by ethereal hands crafted from
Bohemian crystal, a harmonious dance between the steadfast and the
fragile. Quinn is widely recognized for his expressive depictions
of human hands, and this piece marks the first time he has used
crystal in such a design.
The tapestry of the exhibition “Balance in Nature” unfolds at
the Heydar Aliyev Center, where “My Heart is Yours” weaves a
poignant narrative about the intricate dance between humanity and
the natural world.
