"Evanescence Portrait" Drawing

In 2007, I graduated from Panos Terlemezian Fine Arts College in Yerevan, where I studied for five years. This historic institution has shaped many of Armenia’s most celebrated artists, including Panos Terlemezian, Bagrat Ashotovich Grigoryan, Bashbeuk-Melikyan, Vruyr Galustyan, and many others. Studying in the same halls that once inspired such masters gave me a deep sense of artistic responsibility and pride.

Through my art, I aim to share not only beauty but also emotion — to remind people of the fragile connection between the visible and the invisible, between reality and feeling. My dream is that every person who sees my work feels a spark of something familiar — a reflection of their own soul. I’ve been surrounded by art since childhood — it all began with copying faces from my schoolbooks and shaping my family members from plasticine. Back then, I couldn’t imagine that painting would one day become my true language — the voice of my soul.

Today, my life feels colorless without art. My palette reflects my emotions, energy, and everything I want to share with the world. Each brushstroke is a conversation between my inner universe and the canvas.

Art, for me, is a boundless world — a place where imagination knows no limits. I find harmony in the meeting of realism and abstraction, where reality softly melts into dreams.

I live and create in Yerevan, Armenia — a city full of light, contrasts, and hidden poetry. Sometimes, I start a painting late at night, promising myself to stop after one hour… and suddenly I see the sunrise coloring my studio walls. Once, I even forgot a cup of tea on my palette — it turned into an “accidental masterpiece.”
