Joanna-Janet Hagopian’s Artist’s Statement
This experience, of being caught in three cultures, not so different and not the same dominates my creative work. Each of my pieces offers a glimpse into the social, religious,, realities that shape my identity—and the identities of those women, who lives in the middle east with all problems and wonders .
In my work I pay great attention to the structure of forms, shapes and colors, which creates the inhabitable space that starts to resemble story and life experience, behind the composition.
The idea of using this object and shapes is to allow the viewer to detach themselves from the notion of normality and question their reason for existence. These beautiful shapes symbolize the idea of isolation when settled in this adequate position.
Each piece is composed of various layers and conveys the concept of the painting. My imagination explores and displays shape variations in order to communicate a strong composition. Painting these shapes may be challenging, but has the advantage of allowing the viewer to observe without feeling restricted or constrained.
