Intigam Agayev is a painter living and working in Sumgayit. His work has been exhibited in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia, and Turkey. Since 2012, Agayev has been a member of the Azerbaijan Union of Artists.
From his early childhood, Intigam Agayev was keen on drawing, and his murals in those days were the walls of their summer house located near the sea. Living in the coastal region, the artist's inspiration mainly comes from nature, more specifically, the landscape of Absheron. He describes himself as a pioneer of the Absheron art scene, which is mainly characterized by the heavy use of bright and vivid colors as a central point of the painting. In Agayev’s work, his admiration for nature is evident from the fresh landscape, and lively scenes of people, birds, and animals depicted in his paintings. He describes this admiration as follows:
"...I was born and raised in Sumgait, and all my childhood passed on the seacoast of our beloved Caspian. I remember this tart smell of the sea, a little salty, a little burning, which cannot be confused with anything. Even being far abroad, the picture of the Caspian Sea never leaves me. The golden sands of Absheron are an indescribable beauty that I try to convey on my canvases..."
The artist achieves a calming effect throughout all his paintings by the use of warm colors, elements from nature, and emotions relating to peaceful human experiences such as dancing, singing, resting, etc. His signature in paintings is “Asiman '', which means the blue sky. According to the artist's words, it was his callsign for communicating with soldiers during the first Nagorno Karabagh war he volunteered to go to in 1992. Some of his paintings are devoted to war, however, he avoids the use of dark and gloomy colors in those paintings as well and does not show the disturbing cruelty of war. "The war has its own colors. Aggression and cruelty have no place in painting," says the artist.
