TUMAN (Amalya Nane TUMANIAN) is a professional artist who works in oil, acrylic, and mixed media. The style and subject matter of her artworks vary from abstract to figurative. Her abstract paintings, which have vibrant and emotive color palettes that resonate with her feelings, often include geometric elements to contrast with soft organic shapes. Figurative expressionistic works are mostly on the subject of human interaction, emphasizing an emotional and philosophical context with bright and contrasting colors and gestural brushstrokes.
TUMAN (artist name) was born in Yerevan, Armenia, where she taught at the School of Fine Arts and was a member of the Soviet Union of Arts under the surname Ovsepyan.

There, she earned a master's degree from the Academy of Fine Arts University in San Francisco, California.

Compartments, a captivating piece of artwork that measures 115 x 75 x 1.5 cm and is made of acrylic on canvas. The painting embodies a powerful message of unity and isolation, magnificently conveyed through a unique blend of colors, textures, and brushstrokes. With striking compartments, it is serving as a representation of social structures, Painting successfully captures the complexities and contradictions of human interaction, spark inspiration and conversation.
The colors of the birds of paradise is an expression of my appreciation of the beauty of nature.
The cubism-style painting "Pendule" explores the concept of changes within repetitive motion, disrupting established patterns while still existing within a confined structure. Through fragmented and geometric forms characteristic of cubism, the artwork captures the dynamic essence of a pendulum's oscillation. The depiction suggests a tension between order and disorder, where the predictable rhythm of the pendulum is disrupted by subtle shifts and variations. This disruption highlights the fluidity of time, emphasizing the notion that change is inherent even within the confines of regularity. The fractured composition invites viewers to contemplate the interplay between stability and transformation, challenging the traditional perception of time as a linear and uniform progression.
Through Music Breakdancing, I invites viewers to feel the rhythm, hear the music, and experience the expressive power of dance. The painting transcends its static form, inviting the audience to imagine the dynamic soundscape and the electric atmosphere of a dance floor alive with the spirit of music and movement.
The artwork Adam and Eve draws inspiration from Rodin's celebrated sculpture "Kiss." In this rendition, I aim to encapsulate the Western perception of origin and intimacy in a down-to-earth manner, symbolized by the choice of earthy tones for the depiction of their bodies. This color palette serves as a visual metaphor, grounding the narrative in a tangible and relatable human experience, forging a connection between the viewer and the timeless themes embedded in the portrayal of Adam and Eve.
Painting "Love Son" was inspired by Chopin's music and the memorial sculpture dedicated to him in Paris. My intention was in the structured expressionist style to express the sensitivity of his music and love through images of an angel, beautiful woman, and roses. The brush strokes capture the energy and passion of the music, letting the canvas become a visual representation of the auditory experience. The angel represents a muse, the woman embodies the emotional depth, and roses symbolize passion or the ephemeral nature of beauty and music.
