Vardan Baron

Born in Belgium in 2009, Vardan Baron demonstrated remarkable potential in drawing from very young age. You could often find him with a pencil and a notepad, sketching imaginary creatures, original characters, or monsters. One day, when he was five, his teacher expressed her astonishment at his skills in creating beautiful color palettes during his art lesson and advised his family to help him to cultivate this amazing talent. From then on, Vardan Baron received continuous support and encouragement from the family — none of whom are artists — as they stood by and watched him steadily improve. By the time he was seven, a special room in the house was designated as his studio, where he could be inspired and spend countless hours creating art. With an unquenchable curiosity, thirst for knowledge and desire to perfect his artistry, Vardan Baron is on the look-out for a mentor that will help and guide him to new horizons and encourage him to take risks — ultimately helping to pave his career path. He views any feedback as a gift and uses constructive criticism as a catalyst for improving his skills. He would value and cherish a mentorship and is looking forward to making new connexions.

Until now, Vardan Baron has largely been self-taught, having only participated in a couple of formal art sessions. He is very disciplined, and adamantly devotes hours each day to honing his skills. Vardan Baron regularly visits museums and educates himself on classical and contemporary art. He draws inspiration from artists such as Michelangelo, Jheronimus Bosch, Johannes Vermeer, Da Vinci, and Modigliani — but feels a particular connection with the work of Picasso.
