In the process of my creative searches, I realized that the four directions (surrealism, symbolism, realism and animalism) are closest to me and this is reflected in my work. From 1996-2001, I worked on the series ‘Gray Period). It was a transition period after the war. Life in Armenia seemed to me ‘gray’ and the pictures turned out ‘gray’s.
