Rana Gurbanova was born in the Balakan district. She has been engaged in handicrafts for more than five years. Her interest in art began in childhood. Closely observing the handmade works created by her parents was a great pleasure for her, and it was during those years that a deep interest in creativity, especially in toys, was formed. Rana Gurbanova recalls this period as follows:
 “Watching my parents while they were working was a great pleasure for me. It was from those times that my love for toys began.”

Over time, this interest became stronger. In the dolls she creates, Rana Gurbanova gives preference to national ornaments and seeks to preserve the delicate and valuable details of cultural heritage in each of her handmade works. The interest shown by people around her in her creativity has enabled her to move forward on this path with greater confidence.

In the early years of her activity, Rana Gurbanova presented her products through social media platforms. With the desire to introduce her art to a wider audience, she became a member of “ABAD.” Today, her dolls reflecting a national spirit are available at “ABAD” ethno-boutiques.
