Vendor Biography

Education-wise I am an architect, and that pretty much formed my way of thinking and ways of expressing myself. I worked for 12 years in leading architectural companies in Armenia. Nevertheless, I have always been more of an artist. Since April 2020 I switched totally to artistic activity. I am based in Armenia, I grew up in Yerevan.

When I was four years old, my art class teacher decided to organize a personal exhibition of my artworks, because she saw something special in them. Now I am 40, and I am just starting to understand what she saw then, after a long journey into myself. For example, that I am like a glue for good people. Many of them have become my friends throughout life, and some of them stick together, independently of me. That is a huge treasure that I have, because they all gave me something and I gave them something as well. I see lots of good things in life, in everything that I am surrounded with. And my pictures contain that love and admiration. I am sure that wherever my artworks are, they create good vibes and pass on those warm feelings to people.

I am working with acrylics, watercolor, ink, gouache, alcohol markers, charcoal and anything that leaves traces on paper or any other base.
