About The Artwork
I said fate plays a game without a score, and who needs fish if you've got caviar? The triumph of the Gothic style would come to pass and turn you on—no need for coke, or grass. I sit by the window. Outside, an aspen. When I loved, I loved deeply. It wasn't often. I said the forest's only part of a tree. Who needs the whole girl if you've got her knee? Sick of the dust raised by the modern era, the Russian eye would rest on an Estonian spire. I sit by the window. The dishes are done. I was happy here. But I won't be again. I wrote: The bulb looks at the flower in fear, and love, as an act, lacks a verb; the zer- o Euclid thought the vanishing point became wasn't math—it was the nothingness of Time. I sit by the window. And while I sit my youth comes back. Sometimes I'd smile. Or spit. I said that the leaf may destory the bud; what's fertile falls in fallow soil—a dud; that on the flat field, the unshadowed plain nature spills the seeds of trees in vain. I sit by the window. Hands lock my knees. My heavy shadow's my squat company. My song was out of tune, my voice was cracked, but at least no chorus can ever sing it back. That talk like this reaps no reward bewilders no one—no one's legs rest on my sholders. I sit by the window in the dark. Like an express, the waves behind the wavelike curtain crash. A loyal subject of these second-rate years, I proudly admit that my finest ideas are second-rate, and may the future take them as trophies of my struggle against suffocation. I sit in the dark. And it would be hard to figure out which is worse; the dark inside, or the darkness out.

Armenia
El Greta (b. 1991) is a distinguished Armenian artist, whose academic journey culminated with her graduation from the State Academy of Fine Arts of Armenia in 2014. Currently based in Yerevan, her creative expressions predominantly manifest through paintings characterized by static objects, nudity, and a monochrome palette. Embracing Neofigurative Expressionism, El Greta delves into the myriad facets of human existence, exploring the boundless diversity of human manifestations through her art. El Greta's oeuvre has been showcased across various prestigious platforms, marking her presence in the Armenian and international art scenes. Noteworthy exhibitions include her participation in the Artists' Union of Armenia Spring Salon in March 2011, a solo exhibition at the Chamber Theatre in 2012, and a display of her works at the Albert and Tovboyajyan Gallery in 2013. Further extending her artistic dialogue, she contributed to an exhibition in Georgia in 2013, commemorating Mother's Day, organized by the Armenian Diocese of Georgia. Her continued engagement with the Artists' Union of Armenia was evident in her participation in a graduate exhibition in 2014 and a commemorative exhibition for the centenary of the Armenian Genocide in 2015. El Greta's collaboration with contemporary writer Aram Pachyan in 2015, facilitated by modern artist Levon Fljyan at the Contemporary Art Museum, highlights her interdisciplinary approach. In 2016, her art reached a wider audience through an exhibition sale at the UN representation residence in Armenia. The year 2017 saw her captivating solo exhibition "Blue Reflection" at Dalan Art Gallery, followed by a notable exhibition at the Yerevan City Hall titled "Look at the City." Her artistic journey continued with participation in the "Story of a Canvas" exhibition at Arhvestanoc Gallery in 2019. El Greta's art is a reflective exploration of human identity and experience, inviting viewers into a contemplative dialogue through her Neofigurative Expressionist lens. Her contributions to the art world are marked by a deep engagement with thematic diversity and a profound exploration of the human condition.
