It is possible to recognize People’s Artist Ada Gutliyev as the founder of the trend of professional carpet-weaving. Canvases created by this outstanding master are real carpet painting. Resting upon foundations of ancient carpet weaving, he also uses technologies of computer graphics, any plastic means of expression of artistic image or idea.

It is difficult to call the productions of Ada Gutliyev as a carpet article. These are real pictures and their ornamental borders, framing a part with a plot, serve an original baguette, which highlights the beauty of production.

Such canvas, made in accordance with all technological and artistic canons of the Turkmen carpet weaving, obtain new qualities typical of pictorial picture – planning, airy and linear prospect, light-to-dark transition elaboration of volumes. But at the same time, the artist preserved all standards of ancient craft the Turkmen carpet is famous for – high density of nodal knitting that is the guarantee of quality, natural wool of saryja sheep, natural dye stuff.

Ada Gutliyev drastically changed our opinion on Turkmen carpet as a product of handicraft, subject of everyday life, adornment of a house. Independent production created on the principles of easel painting appeared instead of it.

Ada Gutliyev also works by the technology of double-faced weaving – most complicated type of carpet weaving, creating perfect exclusive productions with the images on both sides of woven canvas.

Creative activity of the master was highly appreciated in Turkmenistan; his carpet-pictures take worthy place in the country’s museums.
