Ararat in autumn Print

Vagharshak Abrahamyan is an Armenian-born painter based in France, known for his poetic exploration of nature, memory, and urban transformation. Born in Yerevan, Armenia, he studied Fine Arts at Armavir City College and continued to refine his craft through years of dedicated self-study and experimentation. Working primarily with oil and acrylic, Abrahamyan creates works that blur the boundary between realism and abstraction. His paintings invite the viewer into meditative worlds — spaces where the texture of a city wall, a fleeting light on autumn leaves, or the silence of a horizon become symbols of inner reflection. Guided by an intuitive process that begins with sketches, photographs, and spontaneous improvisation, Vagharshak builds layers of emotion and time on each canvas. His art is not a record of place, but a dialogue with memory — each brushstroke shaped by feeling rather than form. Vagharshak’s works have been featured in exhibitions such as “Armenian Artists” (Art Gallery, 2023), his solo exhibition “Autumn in Armenia” in Yerevan (2023), and the “City Exhibition of Artists” in Armavir (2024). His paintings are now held in private collections across Europe and the United States, affirming his growing recognition among international collectors. Now based in France, Abrahamyan continues to expand his practice, capturing the quiet poetry of everyday life — transforming ordinary scenes into timeless reflections of human emotion.
