The Mysterious Tree Painting

Gagik Siravyan was born in Yerevan, Armenia, in the family of RA Honored Artist Henrik Siravyan. He works with different mediums including pencil, aquarelle, gouache, acrylic and oil, and explore human emotions and experiences through my artistic work. " Trees Are People… My trees are people. I see and discover "my person" in the trees. These eternal creatures fascinate and mesmerize me. They possess so much power, joy and sadness, so much love and so much faith. Just like people they pine away from pain and sorrow or smile and shine with limitless happiness expressing their feelings and mood swings through their movements. They tacitly exert eternal happiness. They break into a dance… a blessed dance full of love, losses and memories. You can "hear" a tree growing and wading away in your hands... You can tell what the tree "feels". I feel their anguish. I see their passion, pain and bare senses. And they see mine. I live with them. Pain is inseparable from beauty. Trees have so much faith. I can't stop being fascinated by their eternal greatness. I feel their inner struggle, aspirations of freedom, fearlessness and courage. It is as if I am drawing myself... the self-portraits of my inner self… my soul. You end a tree's life by confining it to a canvas at the same time giving it a new life. You feel its breath. They die and continue living. They die in order to continue living. We have so much to learn from them... I have so much to learn from them"
