Solo Exhibitions April 23 - May 16, 2025

After several years of work in graphic techniques, painting, sculpture, and art
installations, I am now reaching my artistic maturity, as I am creating art, using all my
experiences as an artist and a person, an Armenian by origin, born and raised in
Bulgaria, and now working in the United States.
 
In any art there is a story. Your story. A story as you imagine it in the moment of
enjoying the art itself. In this way I think of myself as a storyteller, even if the story is just
a kind of wink that inspires you to make up your own.
 
In my work I combine the bright colors of the east, Slavic mentality, my views of
the modern world, and the inner force of the icons and dynamics of the contemporary
world. 

With my work I'd like to discover beauty in everything, its meaning, its
independent existence. I'd like to reveal everything that surrounds us - words, objects,
sounds, feelings, and signs.
 
I believe direct contact between my soul and my hand is the only way to express
the reality of our surroundings.
 
My goal is to be directed by my instincts and my emotions while creating, to be
influenced by my subconscious view of the image and the idea of merging with my art
beyond the level of my five senses.
 
I strive to awaken associations and emotions in the viewer that would bring them
to the same spiritual state as I am in while working, not by shocking them but by inviting
a closer scrutiny of the world.
          
My credo, my emotions and feelings, my thoughts, memories and insights, my
troubles, joys and dreams are all in my works.
