Miss Doreen Painting

First of all I want to confirm my name MHER EVOYAN I was born in 1979 in one of the most historical places of the world, Armenia, Vanadzor. Currently I live and work in the capital of Armenia, Yerevan. I have my Studio and have made my best artworks there. I want to tell about the concept of my work , of my paintings. Intentions can be very different... To be honest it is impossible to describe them... Of course, it is obvious- and the natural way of expression... But even with all of this it is not a less important fact, which gives an opportunity to approach, come close, to feel and to some extent try to understand, to penetrate into the subconscious.... which, in my opinion, gives us a lot and at the same time much more hides..... Apparently, everything has its time. I would like to talk about the most important and dramatic events, and of course about memories of growing up, that mostly influenced my artwork. My childhood had crucial impact on my development. My father’s sudden death was the end of my childhood, after which I started painting. I spent my childhood in a small town in Armenia named Vanadzor, where we lived in a big and old house, that belonged to my ancestors. The house was extremely old and I was sure that there were ghosts living in the house. There are some pictures left in my memory that are so vivid and pleasant that will always lead me on my path. Once, when we woke up in the morning, the whole patio was covered by snow. My dad told us to run outside and wash ourselves with snow. We were surprised at first, but then it turned out to be very exciting to get a snow bath. The other vivid image that I have got from my childhood is our trees. I was almost always sitting on those trees and creating new worlds for me. I was also picking apples from the trees while crawling on them. It was late autumn, when I saw apples falling out of trees. I told my father about it with concern but he picked up already rotted apples and started throwing them on my brother. It turned out to be very funny game further. Apples, snow bath, the old house are very close to me not only because of being memories of growing up, but also, because these images are very close to culture of my origin. Human is always an accumulation of curtain ideas, which includes ethnic features: culture, mentality, psychology, habits. It is impossible to avoid them.
