The Museum of Modern Art hosted the solo exhibition of artist Narmin Sadigova titled “Myth.” The exhibition was open to art lovers from April 4 to 11, 2025. Around 40 of the artist’s paintings, created over recent years on astrology and various other themes, were displayed at the event.
Narmin Sadigova's “Myth” exhibition marks a new phase in her artistic journey. The works showcased in this exhibition demonstrate the integration of astrology with the aesthetic means of art. They present the mythological meanings of the twelve zodiac signs, planetary influences, and symbols through a unique artistic approach on canvas.
This exhibition is not only an aesthetic experience but also a new artistic expression arising from the synthesis of astrological knowledge with color and composition. In each piece, the individual characteristics of the zodiac signs are brought to life through selected color palettes and compositional elements. These works of art offer a deeper connection to the cosmos and allow a better understanding of the content of astrological symbols.
