Realism Ambassador of the Week: Aflatun Israilov

Meet this week’s top Realism Today Ambassador, Aflatun Israilov:

Aflatun Israilov is a self-taught seascape and landscape painter who first picked up a brush at the age of 40. Born and raised in a picturesque region between the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus Mountains, his art is deeply inspired by the natural beauty surrounding him. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Aflatun founded the martial arts style ‘Su-Yolu’ (meaning “water flow” in Azeri), a system of unarmed combat based on the movement of water. This unique style reflects his appreciation for the dynamic and fluid nature of the element of water.

Aflatun is a member of the Azerbaijani Artists Association, the International Guild of Realism, the American Society of Marine Artists, and The Eurasian Art Association. He has participated in numerous art exhibitions around the world and has his art in private and public collections.
