As reported by BAKU.WS, the event was attended by Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Leyla Aliyeva, Arzu Aliyeva, members of the diplomatic corps accredited in Spain, art figures, and representatives of the local community.

The international art exhibition MAMA "Mother Nature," realized based on the idea of Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and founder of the IDEA Public Association Leyla Aliyeva, brings together artists representing various countries and cultures, drawing attention to the importance of the connection between people and nature, as well as environmental protection.

The project was first presented in 2024 in Baku, at the Heydar Aliyev Center, within the framework of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29). Subsequently, the exhibition gained an international scope and was demonstrated in Manama, Rome, London, Tbilisi, Berlin, Tirana, Geneva, and Riga.

This time, the exhibition is presented in Madrid with the joint organizational support of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Spain.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Spain Ramiz Hasanov stated that the MAMA "Mother Nature" project is an international artistic initiative exploring the profound connection between art and humanity. He noted that the project draws attention to the environmental challenges of our time. The diplomat thanked the author of the project idea, Leyla Aliyeva, for holding the exhibition in Madrid and expressed hope that the exposition would contribute not only to increasing interest in art but also to fostering a greater sense of responsibility and care toward the environment among visitors.

Speaking next, Director General for North America, Eastern Europe, Asia and the Pacific at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation of the Kingdom of Spain, Luis Fonseca Sánchez, emphasized that his country is a land of art, creativity, and culture. He noted that it is precisely because of this that new opportunities for dialogue and cooperation with partners such as Azerbaijan are opening up. Spain is also one of the countries with the most extensive protected natural areas in Europe. These territories are accessible to thousands of visitors, which demonstrates the formation of a society that recognizes the importance of protecting ecosystems and biodiversity.
