Wadjet Painting

It's hard to place myself into one particular genre. But you still can find a feature wondering around my works. They are all united by one same plot. Even in what may initially seem an objectless abstraction, there is the plot. I've been calling myself a psychedelic artist, an abstractionist and a surrealist. Now I have left it all behind. I feel, that I have the view, that is larger than just psychedelics or surrealism, or abstractionism. I get inspired, besides everything else, from written symbols and calligraphy as well as from mythology of various different countries and cultures. In Japan seven precise and gentle strikes of a brush create a symbol. Aztecs spiritual successors attract matter with just a thread of a thought. Egyptian ornament, eternal and flat, inspires me to push myself off into something curly. It's hard for me to pick just one culture. I can not define myself through one particular nationality. I started my career as an artist in Russia. I'm Armenian ethnically. I had lived and studied in Austria and England for a while. I have travelled around half of the world, and I was at home everywhere.
