[2] He was the son of the first woman-sculptor of Azerbaijan, Zivar Mammadova[3] and Habib Mammadov, candidate of technical sciences.

He was given the State Premium of the Azerbaijan SSR (1982) for sculptural monument to the XI Caucasian Red Army in Baku (1980).

[4] Among his main works are: bronze busts to veterans of war, Adil Guliyev - Hero of the Soviet Union, N.Shaverdyayev, Bahaddin Mirzoyev, S.Ahmadov – Hero of Socialist Labour (USSR)(all in 1985); sculptural portrait of Samad Vurgun (1987), a monument to Nasimi (together with Ibrahim Zeynalov ) (1979).

Jamil Novruzov - one of the eminent art critics of Azerbaijan describes Mammadov's work as follows: He created great Nizami’s portrait and a lofty, intellectual, complex and spiritually rich world of the poet of wood.

Wisdom of a human can be read from manly features, tiredly covered with eyelids eyes and frowns of Nizami.
