Samvel Marutyan

Samvel Marutyan is an experienced artist based in the United States whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Russia, Switzerland, Armenia, the United Arab Emirates, Poland, Syria, Germany, Cyrus, and Lebanon. A cross-genre artist, he is inclined towards abstractionism because it is a fusion of soul, color, and line, which he describes as a celestial symphony. Marutyan most often creates using graphite, watercolors, tempera, oils, and acrylics.

His paintings are always full of “assured color and expression with complete mastery of brush and palette knife.”He has had several one-man exhibitions all over the world, most notably in Russia, Poland, Switzerland, Germany, Cyprus, Syria and, of course, Armenia and the United States. His Works are in private collections and museums throughout the world.

His paintings reveal his love of people, nature and God. They express an entire range of emotions — romantic, brooding, thoughtful, and inspired. His great faith shows in his portraits of Christ — human and yet so obviously the divine savior of mankind.

His art is powerful and timeless. The works illustrate his mood, character and colorful inner world....
