And her journey to build herself in Italy – what it takes an outsider artist to settle down in the cradle of art<\/strong>. <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The guest of Galosce Zhiguli<\/em><\/a> for this month is Fidan Ilqar. I didn’t know her before and it was a pleasant surprise to discover her in Italy. She is one of those unusual people who has two sides to her – laid back creative soul and stubborn, result oriented mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At some point in her life she made a decision that so many don’t find courage to make and linger stuck in one place for years. At the blooming moment of her career in her hometown Baku she has decided to leave everything behind to build herself in Italy, the cradle of art and creativity. Was it easy? Absolutely no. Was it worth it? Absolutely, yes! Now she is glad to have resisted long enough to arrive in a place where she is already thinking to realize her dream project. A creative intiative that would bring people together from Italy and Azerbaijan. She just gave a hint to it, not much information, we have to follow her to see what she is up to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our talk also gave an interesting insight into what it takes for creative people to build themselves outside of their own culture from resilience, adaptability, openness to grow to the strength to handle the pain of growth – not an easy feat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy. Do not forget to check out her portfolio on Behanc<\/a><\/em>e<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When one goes thru this process, one realizes that being excluded is very real in a culture and country where one does not belong. One really tests the boundaries of one’s will. <\/em><\/p>– Fidan<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Fidan, how did you make the decision to leave your life behind and move to Italy to build yourself<\/em><\/strong>?<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Back in 2008, after graduating from my bachelor degree I went to Florence for master\u2019s degree at Florence Design Academy. Then I returned home upon gradution and started to work as a freelancer and also in different creative agencies. It was in my last workplace thru which I had to visit Milan in 2013 and there something clicked, my love for Italy decided everything for me for the coming years \u2013 second master\u2019s degree at IED (Istituto Europeo di Design) and eventually building myself in Milan. I found the projects that we did during my studies at IED with the industry and business quite attarctive, so next I was interested in professional experience. Back then, at the end of my studies my university found an internship for me at a construction engineering company that was designing Kirazli-Halkali subway line in Istanbul. I was in charge of interior design of the station. I didn\u2019t extend my contract when my time was up as I was interested in more artistic work that required more creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
