Irfan Ajvazi
Irfan Ajvazi (b. 2001) is a visual artist and curator whose work navigates the emotional resonance of memory, landscape, and constructed space. He received his Diploma in Graphic Design from the Great Learning Academy in 2022. Working primarily in painting, Ajvazi explores complex spatial environments that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior worlds—merging still life, architecture, and urban scenery into contemplative compositions. His practice is grounded in a deep sensitivity to light and atmosphere, drawing influence from modern American painters while cultivating a style that is both personal and poetic.
He is currently based in, and is available for exhibitions, collaborations, and private commissions.
My work is rooted in a deep appreciation for light, atmosphere, and the quiet poetry of everyday spaces. Whether drawn from cityscapes, domestic interiors, or stretches of empty highway, each painting seeks to transform the familiar into something luminous and contemplative—capturing moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed. Influenced by artists such as Richard Diebenkorn, Wayne Thiebaud, Fairfield Porter, and Alex Katz, I strive to find harmony between abstraction and representation. The structural elegance of Giorgio Morandi and the emotional stillness of Edward Hopper have further shaped my approach, reminding me of the expressive potential within simplicity.
Through deliberate yet fluid brushwork, I use color, shape, and spatial tension to build scenes that hover between presence and memory. As both a painter and curator, I see art as a means of visual storytelling—an invitation to slow down, reflect, and step into a world where light, space, and emotion quietly converge.
