Karishok Dulyan

I'm an artist splitting my time between Yerevan and California, specializing in cityscapes and abstract landscapes. While I spent two decades as an architect with a passion for sketching, it wasn't until 2020 that I fully embraced painting. Since then, I've found immense joy and fulfillment.
My main strength is to see the beauty in the surrounding world and helping people see it as well. I am praised for the visual variety of my artworks, and the pleasant feelings they bring to people.
