Since the late 1990s, the artist has participated in national exhibitions not only as an architect but also as an artist. Even with a quick glance at Karoyan’s paintings and graphics we can see the influence of the medieval Armenian national miniature art school on his artworks. The genre of graphics widely represented in his career, it inherent for the architect-artist. His graphic artworks are full of the smallest details which create almost unrealistic plausibility.
