Rustam Kurbanly - Kilkenny, Ireland

I’m an architect and an artist (though I prefer the word ‘‘creative’’) and I also teach drawing and perspective.
With a background in architecture and academic drawing, I spent quite a few years taking private lessons to improve my drawing skills. I consider myself lucky to have learned from some extremely skilled and kind-hearted artists.
My creative journey began before I could even walk, sparked and constantly fuelled by my parents. Growing up surrounded by a massive book collection and my late dad’s incredible collection of black and white photographs, photography magazines, and art albums, I developed a deep love and fascination for art, especially black and white.
