"In hiding" Fine Art Print

Born in Iran in 1984, raised within an Armenian family, Anahid Ypres grew up in a multicultural environment. Moving back to Armenia as a teenager, she then quickly fell in love with arts in general. With the precious support of her family, she attended the prestigious Panos Terlemezyan State College and The Academy of Fine Arts of Yerevan.
Living abroad also helped adding layers of culture to her already complex background: first France where she met her husband, and then United States.
She now lives in Southern New England and has a studio in the historic district of college hill in Providence Rhode Island where she spends most of her creative time.
Throughout the years, oil and acrylic have been a natural answer to her art experience, but constant curiosity and trials in new materials made her encounter and study clays and glazes. This close-to-alive chemistry allows her to give her vision a new life, in different forms and dimensions. She often relies on her instincts to choose the material and mediums for her work.
Her work is mostly abstracted vision of daily life, sometimes landscapes, sometimes figures and other times distorted objects and still life. She uses vibrant colors and has a certain way of exaggerating the beauty of everyday things.



“I am still in search of my unique voice, I try very different subjects and very different ways to execute and present them. I like my viewers to wander through my paintings, find something that no one else did and keep searching”
