Cat Painting

.The artist was born on July 30th, 1976 in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. His childhood passed on the Black Sea coast in the ancient Georgian city of Batumi. The bright sun, fragrant greenery, Georgian songs forever remain as vivid memories. In 1990 the family returned to their historical homeland in Yerevan. The beauty and grandeur of the ancient culture, the diversity of the natural landscape covered with forests and mountain ranges, combined with the centuries-old Christian traditions of the Armenian people, had its unique impact on development of personality of the future artist. The desire to draw came unexpectedly. Arman received as a gift from his grandmother illustrated book of "History of the Armenian Church", when he was ten-year-old. This became his passion and he started to draw a lot․ His teachers were nature, people around him, everyday objects. He painted with pencils, ink, oil paints, watercolors, gouache, everything, what was available at hand. Studying at an art school did not bring the expected joy. The young man was bored and uninterested in painting antique plaster heads, ornaments, and educational still lives. In the world around him, he saw bizarre images created by the imagination, the play of light and shadow, filled with sunlight. The future artist wanted to paint the world of his fantasies. With the dream of becoming an artist, the young man had to leave for a while. After graduating from the University of Law, he received a degree in law. He continued his education in the field of corporate marketing, becoming a certified specialist. The following years were connected with business, which take a lot of time and effort. Fortunately, creativity has not gone out of Arman's life. He painted a lot, trying to find expression of his feelings. With the perseverance of a climber, overcoming every day professional difficulties, he moved towards his goal. Arman managed to create a unique world of images: joyful and sad, grotesque and lyrical, large-scale and chamber. Talent, true love of art, obsession with work helped the artist to find his unique style. Over time, the works of Arman Alaverdyan were noticed by professional artists, members of the Union of Artists of Armenia. Exhibitions followed, articles appeared. A new stage in the life of the artist begins in 2018, when the family moves to Spain. Now he has the opportunity to dedicate time to his favorite artworks.
