Gagik Khachatryan

The foundation of the creative work of the artist Gagik Khachatryan is fundamental knowledge, the academic study of old masters and understanding the importance of the heritage of world art.
Khachatryan creates compositions, portraits, landscapes, etc., where there is always a picturesque beginning. The painter creates portraits of a psychological mood, his style is characterized by the humanization of the portrait. At the same time, he does not lose the features of this particular portrait (character, facial features, etc.).

For example, such masters as Velazquez, Rembrandt, Goya, El Greco, Delacroix, Titian, Jan Vermeer, Van Dyck, Gainsborough. And later, Renoir, Monet, Manet, Degas, Cezanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Clint, Turner, Serov, Konchalovsky, Korovin, and others, influenced the work of the artist Gagik Khachatryan.
