"Abstract #10" Painting

Ararat is an artist based in Armenia, from the small town of Vanadzor. His experimental, abstract, expressionist style symbolizes his feelings and thoughts that deserve to be communicated with his audience.
Surrounded by mountains and shades of green he creates art in his studio tucked away between trees and a moment between the past and future. As a Vanadzor native, he knows that no matter where he goes in the future, he will always gravitate back to Vanadzor, because this is the origin of all that he is. Life in Vanadzor fuels his paintings with colors and soul. His colors evoke a story that are contained by the abstract shapes. Ararat’s journey as a painter began at just 3 months old when a bearded stranger predicted that he would grow to become either a painter or a musician. At 3 years old, he was drawing with pencils on paper, and upon losing them, he would say that he needed to find his documents. Those documents have now manifested into his paintings.


He gives color to the canvas and then pauses for the music to soften his soul. He does not know the meaning of life but he needs no reason to pick up the brush and paint. A cat is his most trusted audience that comes at its own leisure to update itself on Ararat’s new works.

Ararat considers painting to be relative to dialogue. Every painting is a trip to the unknown.
"Paintings are a part of you, they are you: the mood that you are bringing to the studio, the reason you came. You can work on a painting for months and every day you enter the studio differently.”
