About Ramina Saadatkhan
Ramina Saadatkhan (b. 1977) is a Baku-based artist who graduated from the Fine Arts Faculty in both the Azimzade Art School and the Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Arts. Her practice spans painting, collage, and pop art, infused with abstract expressionist and pop art sensibilities. Engaging mythology, biblical narratives, and philosophical themes, she resists gendered or socio-cultural constraints, instead using bold, colorful imagery to explore archetypal energies, layered meanings, and encrypted visual forms. Drawing from Azerbaijani artistic heritage, Saadatkhan subtly references traditional carpet weaving and medieval miniature painting through her use of symbolism and structure. Her practice evolves through distinct phases, continually transforming while maintaining a recognisable and coherent visual signature style. Her work has featured in Art Dubai (2025) with Gazelli Art House and a group exhibition Spring Flow (2025), Gazelli Art House, Baku.
