Faig Ahmed, born in 1982 in Sumqayit, Azerbaijan, is an Azerbaijani contemporary visual artist best known for his surrealist weavings, which integrate visual distortions into traditional oriental rugs. His textiles, manufactured by a group of skilled weavers who follow his designs while paying strict attention to traditional Azerbaijani weaving techniques, apply optical illusions such as warping, glitching, melting, pixelating and unraveling to traditional Islamic rugs, and his work has been shown in Azerbaijan's first pavilion at the Venice Biennale and at the 11th Mercosul Visual Arts Biennial.
