Kuul received his BFA in painting and graphics from Fine Arts Faculty of Nakhchivan State University, under the supervision of renowned Professor Dr. Hüseyingulu Aliyev. He has held more than fifteen solo shows and his works took place in numerous group exhibitions in Azerbaijan, Turkey and Europe. Behruz Kuul moved his atelier to Bodrum in 2016 and opened his second studio in Budapest in 2022. He has been invited by leading international art institutions and participated in workshops, symposiums and artist residencies of Berekfürdö, Szentendre MANK, AQB Project Space, Budapest and Struga’23 International Art Symposium. His works acquired by Berekfürdö Municipal Art Collection and have been exhibited at the Sebök Margit City Gallery. The artist also exhibited in international contemporary art fairs such as Art Market Budapest and Amsterdam Affordable Art Fair as well as Art Ankara and Art Contact Istanbul. Kuul works and lives in Bodrum. Placing the nature in a central position, Behruz Kuul in his work creates imaginary spaces with his colourful palette, instinctive and expressive brushstrokes and impasto applications. The depictions created by the artist in an imaginary setup are reflected on his canvas with a simple expression. In his compositions the nature always takes place as an abstract landscape in the background. The sunset on the horizon line, where the ground plane meets the sky, finds its place or the sky with unreal colour clusters in a wide area appears tremendously. While the trace of civilization appears in a single house in nature and in the relationship of humankind with it, only one or a few trees, telephone and electricity poles in ’sunsets‘, and sometimes a single object (basket, chair, bell, etc.) accompanies them. This visual language  created by the artist, on the one hand, observes the relationship of humankind with nature, on the other  hand, it opens the door to isolated solitude, desolation beyond seclusion. Behruz Kuul reinterprets nature with his unique style and creates his own universe based on his inner world. The series of works in this genre reflect the artist’s roots from Azerbaijan with an inspiration from Turkey and Hungary.
