Jacques Vartabedian

Jacques Vartabedian is a Lebanese-Armenian Artist, born in 1987 in Beirut, Lebanon, where he currently works and lives. He holds a BA in Fine Arts and a Master's degree in painting from the Lebanese Institute of Fine Arts.

His work is involved in the creation of conceptually based sociopolitical objects that deal with conditions of real experience, and with the multifaceted reality that challenges existing physical and political boundaries. He combines contemporary ideas with traditional techniques and creates a blend of extensions of our reality that are based upon his strong cultural traditions and his interest in the changing world of today.
​
Jacques has participated in many solo and collective exhibitions locally and internationally. He was part of the BJCEM biennale in Milan, Italy 2015, Hong Kong Art Central 2016, and Beirut Art Fair 2017. He was the recipient of "Art on Board Beirut," painting prize by "Saradar Foundation" in 2015, and "Boghosian Foundation's" painting prize in 2016
