Hasmik Chakhmakhchyan

Hasmik Chakhmakhchyan is an Armenian contemporary visual artist. She graduated in 2001 from the Moscow State Stroganov University of Industrial and Applied Arts.
Working primarily in acrylic and oil on canvas, she creates expressive figurative works defined by bold colour, richly textured surfaces, symbolic imagery and distinctive characters. Her practice moves between mythology, personal archetypes, playful contemporary narratives and luminous worlds shaped by freedom, movement and imagination.
Her principal bodies of work include Gods, Titans & Heroes, which reimagines Armenian and classical mythology; Private Mythologies, devoted to original creatures and personal symbols; Funky People, a character-driven universe of eccentric figures and unwritten stories; and Mer Soleil, exploring light, movement, leisure and the sea.
Her photographic series A Geography of Stillness observes Armenia’s rural landscapes as spaces of memory, human presence and suspended time. Across painting and photography, each work becomes an independent artistic world.
