Мanifest of a living artist

I am not an artist

I don’t have a talent

I am an absolute mediocrity

I don’t know any muse

I never draw

I don’t know how to dance

I cannot sing

I don’t know any compositions or proportions

I am very far from the theories

I am scared of a philosophy

I am shy of nature

I can´t put two words together

I don’t tell you smart stories

I won´t give you a life lesson

I am not able to change the world

I won´t save the humankind

I am very far from the stars

I will never discover the cosmos

I won´t touch the bottom of the ocean

I won´t jump from a parachute

I will not go to the war The only thing

I can do :

I do love people

I am inspired by them

I admire each of them

I will listen to their sorrow

I will cry once

I see them

I will put my face on their hand palms

I bow to the poverty

I will kiss their hands

I will give up myself for others

I don’t know any pain

I will never be scared

I will be always close

I am not shy in front of them

I won´t bend

I believe in miracles I believe in fate

I know a little of them

I still love them yet I will be eternal

I will be in heaven.

Perhaps I can start in 2017, when I first started painting. Or maybe the year before that, when I began to read fairy tales. This gave me the freedom that I had so little idea of before. Maybe it was because my mother made me curious about the world from a young age. And where to start? Lately, the idea of beginning and end has been fading away from me more and more. Infinity has attracted me without the relation of cause and effect. Movement allures me, the process, the natural norms. I admire the movement, the life, I see life in movement. It moves, it changes, all kinds of changes protected by a thick layer of intuition. The confidence that allows us to act freely, without hesitation, and without choosing. Ultimately, I try to make all of these ideas visible to me, aesthetic in some way, especially in my art. I try to create a visual space that gives me the feeling of endlessness. I portray the motion by looking at which I move. process it without thinking of the beginning and end. I try to create the freedom, the liberation of myself to be able to feel the movement in endless space.

I was born and live in Yerevan. I was involved in contemporary art and art activism.
I am interested in interdisciplinary multimedia art. I believe that contemporary art is a convenient way to shape the environment and the future according to one's own beliefs and imagination. I prefer to sleep, fuck, and take a bath. I hate working hard (earning my daily bread with my sweat).

Despite the lack of 'professional' education, I have achieved a reputation as a unique voice among Armenian photographers.
Trained as an actor at the State Theatre Institute in Yerevan, my work embraces the medium's propensity toward performative
expression. As such, I stand apart from both the documentary and conceptual tendencies prevalent in Armenian photography,
exploring instead some of the modernist traditions more in line with his formalist approach. Utilizing the ability of the camera
to transform the contextual parameters of space, I unlock the dramatic potential of my locations - with or without the use of
models. A key feature in my work is investigating the relationship between the human body and architecture.
