Famous artist Margarita Karimova-Sokolova has presented her art works in Germany.

A series of works "The Birth of Music" were showcased as part of the "Joy of Art" exposition, Trend Life reported.

"The Birth of Music" is 10 square canvases, of the same size 80/80 cm. The compositions are built in such a way that they can be exhibited in any position, including a rhombus, as well as arranged in different configurations and quantities, which gives them the advantage of a variety of displays. At the same time, each of them is independent. In the case of this exhibition, it is a two-row rectangle.

Speaking about the exhibition, Chairman of the European Forum of Intercultural Cooperation, musicologist Samira Patzer-Ismayilova stressed that the exhibition conveys the artist’s many-sided, emotional experience, similar to primary sounds and a colorful orchestral sound palette. And this makes a strong impression. The works are done in a non-figurative style.

The transition of color lines makes up a certain rhythm that corresponds to prominent composers Gustav Mahler, Wolfgang Mozart, Frédéric Chopin,Gara Garayev, Dmitriy Shostakovich and others. Music notes appear in compositions as a decorative element and visualize music.
