Aga Ousseinov was born in Baku, Azerbaijan, in 1962. Lives and works in New York, US since 1991.

MFA from V.I. Surikov Fine Arts Institute in Moscow, 1986. Studied at ISP New York, 1992–1993.

Initially trained as a sculptor, Aga Ousseinov studied photography and video at International Center of Photography after moving to New York City. These additional media gave him the freedom to pursue his investigation in the interaction between individual and cultural narrative structures. His work in particular suggests two self-conscious and conflicting visions of the world: one that is rational and technological, which contrasts another: poetic, imaginary and emotional. Pushing forward established traditions of sculpture, his works are sculptural installations combined with videos, photographs, drawings and collages.

Ousseinov has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally.
