The Hipster Painting

I am an Armenian Lebanese artist based in Beirut, Lebanon, born in 1971. I majored in Advertising and Graphic Design, eventually transitioning into filmmaking. My passion for art has allowed me to find a profound connection between my career as a film director and my love for capturing the essence of characters through portraiture. In my film directing career, I collaborate closely with actors to bring their characters to life on screen. This immersive experience has granted me a deep understanding of facial features, body language, and the interplay of light and shadow. My portraits serve as windows into the souls of my subjects, inviting viewers to connect with the stories they tell. I believe that the eyes hold a unique power to reflect the depth of one's soul, revealing a wealth of untold narratives. Through my artistry, I strive to bring these narratives to life on canvas, creating a visual language that resonates deeply with the viewer's heart.
