Ara (Arbe) Berberyan, or "Arbe," grew up in Soviet Armenia, where Arbe received recognition for his talent very early in life. The son of a well-known artist, and Professor of Art Design, Ara Berberyan had his first Exhibition at the age of twelve. His paintings were sent by the U.S.S.R. on an International Tour, called The World by Children's Eyes. Of the 65 paintings Arbe showed between 1970 and 1972 only four returned to Armenia, the rest were sold or placed on permanent exhibition in State Buildings throughout the Soviet Union. Arbe's originals are primarily oil on canvas, but he also incorporates a variety of other media into his work, creating a metallic texture in the abstract backgrounds of many of his paintings and prints. He applies gold leaf, and sometimes silver leaf, and then works it with his tools and his hands into intricate patterns and textures that give his art a third dimension. His palette is full of earth tones, with an occasional flourish of vibrant reds, blues, purple or lavender. But always, grabbing your attention, is the gold, rich and luxuriously applied by hand and worked into delicate patterns representing the intricacies of life.
