Melik Agamalov is one of the main figures of the "intellectual branch" of modern Azerbaijani art. It is worth noting that all the works of Melik Agamalov provoke, intrigue, surprise with a virtuoso game of the main idea of the work, through the use of three-dimensional forms, a change in the texture of the material, sometimes using graphic images of Latin words, but at the same time they never cross the fragile verge of taste. But what is most important, behind this elegant intellectual game, which the artist conducts in an aesthetically verified way, he does not forget about the main thing in art - about the world of the human soul. The works of the conceptual artist have already been shown in France, Germany, Great Britain, Russia and the United Arab Emirates.
