𝐆𝐮̈𝐥𝐧𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐯𝐚 ⚜️ 𝐑 𝐞 𝐯 𝐢 𝐯 𝐚 𝐥 ⁣ Solo Exhibition of Sculpture⁣ June 5 - 27, 2021 ⁣ Arts Society of Kingston, NY ⁣ Musingly: While working towards my next exhibition experience, figured to inspire myself and remind what is possible when I activate my hyper focus 🚀 ⁣ The reality is creating new sculptures and ceramic designs takes a lot of time for me, even with my hyper focus 🎧 Firstly, it’s the nature of the beast aka the process. Secondly, I have to let the ideas sit for a long while after I start with the initial spark, and before I can get back to them with some understanding on where they want me to go [mine is a vision, some days accompanied with a burst of energy!] Lastly, because I must take breaks often as to not burnout again 🪶 Thus the creative process for me is a mix of contemplation, birth, stillness, death & rebirth. That’s the best way I can sum it up for now🦋 ⁣ More images on the way, because I yet to share most of my gallery view photography here. As you can see, I took my time with these too. Hehe 🌚 ⁣ 📷: @caspianmuse ⁣ See my work-in-progress #wip in stories!

HERE WE ARE!✨With my encaustic *masterpiece* 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗚𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆 at the Robert H. Angeloch Gallery at WSA during the opening reception of SHOWCASE EXHIBITION 3 Visit the exhibition, say hello to my piece, and check out the works of fellow artists who are on their own artventures at WSA! 🎨 Exhibition Details ———— SHOWCASE EXHIBITION 3 May 2 – Jun 6, 2026
Robert H. Angeloch Gallery Woodstock School of Art @_woodstockschoolofart 
 Gallery Hours: MON – SAT, 9AM – 3PM Opening Reception: May 2, 2 – 4pm ✔️ Artwork ———— Gülnar Babayeva Saint Narcissus Go Pray, 2026 Encaustic, Soft Pastels, Daffodils on wood panel 6 x 8 in | framed Musingly: Must point at my 2D work on the wall since I can’t embrace it like I do with my sculptures on a pedestal. The opening reception was lively as usual for WSA, and I loved seeing my piece on the exhibition wall amongst its peers! Idk how to explain this feeling, but the closest one can compare it to is if you are a parent and you see your child’s awkward school performance and still feel proud of it. So it’s close to that experience! Awkward, sentimental, grateful and a bit extra-hyped, cuz hey I CREATED THAT 👽 Thank You @ginabq for your kind words & encouragement to continue my artventures with encaustics! I am now ready to create more w the specific art supplies I found out in your workshop! Yay💫 There was a time, I did not care much about pics w my work so I’ll do it here and there and not post them much! Ridiculously, I recently tried to find a pic of my work’s first inclusion into a juried WAAM show, and it took me several business days to locate an obscure image from 2022 and I was late to post it! Anyhow, then noticed most artists are expected to *prove* w a pic of themselves +artwork that their works are being exhibited in galleries, so now making sure I OVERDO IT 100%. CUZ *BEING TOO MUCH* is also part of the mission! *EMBRACE IT* 💜 Thank You 📷 @heatherlaurelcaufield for the last minute pic with the half-lights on! Still looks good🍬 #musingly #caspianmuse #sculptor #GülnarBabayeva #encausticart

𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀: 𝗦𝗘𝗘𝗥 is a piece that feels fitting for Mother’s Day! 🪶 Sculpture ————- Gülnar Babayeva Origins: Seer, 2024 Ceramic w Graphite Patina 5 x 2.5 x 2.5 in This piece debuted at my second solo exhibition at a local gallery, & the owner of the gallery put both of us through a mini hell 🎭 REMEMBER Just because someone wants to experience your light does not mean they have the best intentions for you or your work! DISCERNMENT, earthlings!✨ ———- SEERS carry the responsibility of knowing depth, perceiving depth, birthing it, drowning in it, & at times attempting to escape it. SEERS’ fate is defined by its undefinable nature; they can project themselves into multiple realities & see outcomes of all; then what’s the point of living when all the outcomes are known ? SEERS can join the game of life on Earth mostly as observers of realities, in almost detached manner, because they have the innate capacity of foresight as part of their *being mechanism*. SEER MYTHOLOGY IS UNFOLDING. STAY ATTUNED 👁 Musingly: Hope it’s a good Mother’s Day female humans who birthed humanity into being or nurtured already born ones voluntarily, and all the alt variations of motherhood, including pet-moms! 🐈‍⬛ Today I read a question, that my brains summarizes as *Earth is populated by mothers & their children* This thought strike me deeply, because immediately it presented a wider perspective applied to human timelines. This means that “children” are mørd3rîng & harming each other, including their mothers! “Children” who are capable of atrocities are also mostly carry mutated X chromosome which became Y. Consequently those “children” are male humans XY. So do you SEE the problem? Before you say “Not All Men” remember your systemic compliance & silence makes it so. “It’s all men, until no men.” It means wake up & be the change, the voice for voiceless, bring the balance to a system that favors your subkind for absolutely no reason than a perceived ingrained weakness. Stop the oppressive violent behaviors now. REMEMBER The feminine line can manage it all, the extinction shall not affect XX lineage of human kind 👽 SEERS KNOW🧬 #musingly #sculpture

Thank You!🌷 Regrettably, can’t make it to the opening reception in person, thou I’ll be there in *müsealien spirit* and surely it will be well attended!

NEW encaustic piece 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗚𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆 debuting at the Robert H. Angeloch Gallery @_woodstockschoolofart as part of the SHOWCASE EXHIBITION 3 👁 Exhibition Details ———— SHOWCASE EXHIBITION 3 May 2 – Jun 6, 2026

 Opening Reception: SAT, May2, 2 – 4pm Gallery Hours: MON – SAT, 9 AM – 3 PM Artwork ———— Gülnar Babayeva Saint Narcissus Go Pray, 2026 Encaustic, Soft Pastels, Daffodils on wooden panel 6 x 8 in | framed Musingly: Yay! Exhibiting my first encaustic *masterpiece* created during the recent Essence of Spring workshop w Regina Quinn. It was such an enjoyable and vigorous 2 day weekend workshop! I learned new ways of creating with *new-old* materials, observing nature w a fresher perspective + more on colour mixing. Thank You @ginabq for a delightful & educational workshop experience! Oh my! It was so much clean up work afterwards. Clay is pretty messy in my reality [cuz of me likely] now imagine encaustic wax is NXT LVL of hot & cold stickiness + the tools 🙀 Luckily it’s worthwhile, because I ended up with many colourful & favorable experiment results & I certainly shall create more with this medium 🍭 I chose to display this particular piece because it’s my most favorite! The daffodils were a gift, & I had the idea to preserve the flowers for a while and planned to try in this workshop. A sweet way to remember goodness received from fellow earthlings. To me the most interesting parts are the title which is slightly humorous and the gesture of the flowers is contradictorily melancholic in its nature. I won’t share the *real* narrative because it belongs to xe and it has many layered unfavorable Earthly experiences combined into one gentle artwork, maybe someday?! Feel free to make up your own narrative about it & lmk👽 #musingly #caspianmuse #sculptor #GülnarBabayeva #encausticart

𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹: 𝗢𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗞𝟰𝟭𝟲 slowly approaching Earth & is definitely not on a collision course because it’s available for an eccentric art collector 🔭 It was debuted in Sep 2024 during FROM EARTH TO VESSEL, my DUO Ceramics Exhibition with the fellow artist Kalsang Chomphel at the Arts Society of Kingston. Then it has been shown locally, if curious DM for inquiries🌱 Currently, editing images from that duo show. Yes, life got glitchy and things got pushed to that indefinite future, plus it is taking soooo long. Although, turns out now is the time for it 👽 Additionally, in 2025 I have created many more celestials & looking forward to exhibiting them as a series soon! Stay tuned for trajectory updates ☄️ Musingly: Celestial Vessels are ceramic sculpture series that contemplate the origins of water on Earth. These are symbolic space or celestial objects that brought water[ice] to the planet and allowed the rest of the earthly biosphere to emerge out of alien matter [ with the ability to transform into solid, liquid, and gas states]. That is if we consider evolution as the grounds for this myth. How lucky or perhaps how precise! Now water rules the world! Perhaps it was all planned?! Of course, in collaboration with earth matter, including light and quantum magic 💫 I sense there is more to this narrative, yet it’s a mystery for now, so we cultivate patience 🪶 Sculpture ——— Gülnar Babayeva Celestial Vessel: Object K416, 2024 Ceramic sculpture with unique glaze application 7H x 10W x 10D Support @caspianmuse artventures & help distribute these peculiar *artifacts* sooner than later!

Wilde!] YES, NO, thank you!
