As an artist rooted in the vibrant tapestry of London, yet shaped by my Armenian heritage, I find my journey deeply intertwined with the exhilarating interplay of light, shadow and colour that surrounds us. Having immigrated to England in 2001, I’ve embraced the ever-changing landscapes of my new home, which serve as boundless inspiration for my art.
After an early retirement, I’ve gifted myself the freedom to delve into my creativity. I gravitate towards impressionism and abstraction, primarily working with oil paints but also experimenting with acrylics, gouache, and soft pastels. My fascination with the dynamic between light, shadow, and colour informs my approach, allowing me to explore the complexities of emotion through both vibrant landscapes and emotive portraits.
In my practice, I aim to channel emotions into abstract expressions that resonate on a personal level, creating pieces that evoke joy, harmony, and hope. I aspire for my art to be a source of healing, not just for me as the creator, but for viewers as well. Influenced by the likes of Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Sorolla, Sargent, and Zorn, I strive to weave their spirit of beauty and emotional depth into my work.
I believe that through the act of creation, we connect with our souls, expressing our unique vision of the world. It is my hope that my artworks bring the same sense of peace and healing to those who experience them, fostering a profound connection between creator and viewer.
