Sara Oghuz Khanum Nazirova, the Azerbaijani writer-publicist, and journalist, head of the prose department of "Azerbaijan" magazine, screenwriter of several films, played an important role in her orientation towards painting. Gunay Mehdizade received about 8 years of special education from two great artists such as Beyimkhanim Hajizade, the Honored Artist of Azerbaijan, and Asgar Asgarov, a member of the Union of Artists of the USSR and Azerbaijan. The education she received in this direction and the works she created greatly contributed to her professionalism.[1] Today, Gunay Mehdizade is officially considered an artist of Turkey and Azerbaijan.

In 2022, the work "Zefir" authored by Drago Shtambuk included a section dedicated to G. Mehdizade called "A new attitude to the ancient artistic tradition". In that section, Drago Shtambuk evaluates Gunay Mehdizade's creativity as follows:
Today, when contemporary artistic processes are rooted in a very contrasting direction and an evident competition of creators for appearing "modern" has harmed our national artistic values, there are also examples of art that live as the opposite of all these. This new and unique artistic ability that we have highlighted can be seen in various themes and genres in the works of the young artist Gunay Mehdizade. First, after her painting plates were displayed in various exhibitions, and then after my personal acquaintance with her, I was convinced that a young artist who wanted to show a unique artistic attitude to our old national values appeared in our painting space.
