Elnara Nasirli
Artist from Azerbaijan
As an artist rooted in environmental technology, I draw inspiration from the intersection of biotechnology and mixed media. My work transcends conventional boundaries, weaving together painting, sculpture, collage, and installation to construct boundless biomorphic realms. Guided by the Greek roots of 'bios' (life) and 'morphe' (form), my visual language evokes the essence of organic shapes and forms. Each space I craft beckons viewers into immersive audio-visual odysseys, inviting exploration of diverse facets of the human experience, self-expression, and the natural world. Through this journey, I aspire to cultivate emotional healing and deepen environmental awareness. My artistic mission extends beyond mere aesthetics; it's a profound exploration of the transformative potential inherent in creative expression. By engaging with my art, both myself and the audience embark on a journey of neural transformation, discovering the resilience and liberation that can arise from confronting and overcoming life's challenges.

PORTRAIT
Mixed media by Elnara Nasirli
200 x 200 cm • Mixed media, Plastic
Mixed Media installation from salvaged plastic waste from landfill
This double-sided portrait represents both the problem of consumption and the solution. The material used is plastic waste that was collected from the sea representing ghost nets (30-50 percent of all plastic waste in oceans) and at the same time represents fungi and bacteria such as aspergillus tubingensis, fusarum solani and pichia pastoris that are successful at bio-remediation of plastic. The fungus produces an enzyme to break down the plastic called cutinase, which has the dual functions of esterase and lipase that acts on efficient degradation of microplastics.
We have come to a time where humans affect the environment more than it affects us. Even if we do not participate in the process that is happening. Nature finds a way for symbiosis even in the most inhospitable environments and finds solutions of adaptation and survival. If nature can find a way on a biotope scale, solution is possible on a global scale.
