The Amazing Shadow Paintings of Rashad Alakbarov

Using various everyday objects and back light, Azerbaijani artist Rashad Alakbarov creates mind-blowing shadow paintings.

It always amazes me what some people can achieve by using the simplest materials and their imagination. Rashad Alakbarov is definitely one of these incredible individuals; using common items like empty plastic bottles, metal pipes or simple pieces of plastic and back light, he creates amazing works of art. Either by hanging these items from the ceiling, or carefully positioning them on a table, Alakbarov manages to produce incredible shadow paintings.

Wow those are nice....

Now that's creativity, but i'm sure similar art existed.

Wow. I have never though of that before, yet it's obvious!

I like that idea, so simple. But then I've always loved shadow puppets so this is why I think I'm so taken in by this, I'd never even thought of it.

Wow. Something new and fantastic. The artist must be very patient. I love the Arabian skyline. Thanks for showing us.

You're welcome!
