Artist Statement
My art is an expression of my very personal vision of the Nature’s unique beauty. Rather than imitating the look of Nature, I seek to re-create its spirit and power through an extensive use of symbolic images and painting techniques. The symbols that I employ are universal as well as personal, subjective ones. Whether it is a tree reaching toward the heavens, a floating vessel, or even an abstract sculptural shape materializing from the background – my images convey Nature’s regenerative possibilities and its eternal capacity for change. In all of my paintings, vertical positioning and the appearance of objects in groups of three carry symbolic meaning as well and suggest a cosmic infinity and sacred geometry. The emerging and dissolving shapes in stalactite-like depths stir up complex associations in viewer’s minds, sensual, psychic and spiritual. The spiritual effect of the images is further accentuated by inner luminosity, the reflection of light arising from within the painting’s surfaces. My inspiration evolved from my exposure to dynamic and colorful landscapes in my homeland of Armenia where I spent my childhood and adolescence. A land of profound heritage and rare beauty, Armenian mountain ranges with their sparkling peaks, gorges with boisterous rivers, and the richness of color in flowers, sky and stones opened my heart in awe and filled me with fantasies of Nature’s spirit. My passion for exploring the mystery of Nature would not rest within the boundaries of the Earth but take my imagination to places where an ordinary man’s eye wouldn’t see. As a result, the subjects of my artwork range from the vast depths of the oceans to farthest outreaches of our galaxy. I believe that the expressed spirituality in my paintings can work a quiet magic on a viewer by awakening their senses to the peace within themselves and their surroundings.
