Mayrig Simonjan

I'm a professional painter and graphic designer. I love my job and I have a great passion for painting. I'm inspired by nature, objects & materials. I'd love to create beautiful works that express the beauty of God's creation.
I'd also like to tell a story through my (recent) still life paintings. In my opinion a painting should be more than only something to watch ...

I was born with a talent for fine art. Not only my teachers noticed my talent, but also my mother who always motivated me to become a professional painter. As to honor her I decided to use MAYRIG as my artist name. MAYRIG is Armenian for Mother.

My favorite materials are oil color (type: Old Holland) on canvas or panel.
My works can be found in private collections throughout Europe, USA, Middle East, Asia and Australia.
