Artist Profile

Irfan Ajvazi
Artist and curator

Irfan Ajvazi (b. 2001) is an artist and curator whose work explores the intersection of memory, landscape, and still life through layered spatial compositions that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior worlds. He received a Diploma in Graphic Design from the Great Learning Academy in 2022. Drawing inspiration from photography, film, media, and art history, Irfan's practice begins with spontaneous visual "snapshots"—unposed moments or figures that catch his attention and serve as raw material for his paintings.

His creative process involves reassembling these fragments into thoughtful visual narratives, often constructed from multiple sources. Influenced by Baudelaire’s reflections on the transient and the timeless, Irfan seeks to capture a sense of contemporary beauty that is both ephemeral and deeply rooted in cultural memory. His work reflects an ongoing investigation into how aesthetic forms evolve within and beyond their historical context.
