Portrait of an African

Concept

Along with oil painting techniques, I was interested in watercolor and pastel techniques. But after a few years I thoroughly chose the technique for myself - oil painting. Creating with oil means feeling every touch of the brush, every contour and depth of paint on the canvas.

But this was not enough for me, it seemed very traditional to me, I wanted to transfer oil to paper. For many years I experimented and searched for a technique for transferring oil to paper and after a few years, I achieved it - it was a technological breakthrough in my career.

My paintings have been exhibited in many museums around the world: Toronto, Paris, Berlin, United Arab Emirates, Budapest, Cyprus.

Some paintings are now in private collections.
I was born and live in Yerevan. From an early age I drew wherever I could capture the images that were born in my head. Even then I clearly knew that I would become an artist.
My motto is “Independence and freedom of thought”
