Armenian Artist
I wanted to feature one of our amazing local artists here in Armenia. Her name is Gohar and she’s going to be one of the featured artists in our newly opening Armenian Artists Direct store in the base of the Harsnaqar Hotel Complex. I’ve pictured some of her stuff here to give you an idea of what we’ll be selling. She does an amazing job balancing production-value with aesthetic-value, in my opinion. She really lets go in her personal work; I really should put up some of her pastels and oils sometime. She has real talent. Anyway, a little background on Gohar: she’s 23 and recently graduated from an arts school in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. She’s been painting since she was six, and aspires to open up an arts school of her own for this marz (state). She likes to take traditional Armenian designs, iconic places and events and incorporate them into her work. I’ve found another store in Yerevan that might also place an order with her. I’m hoping that she’ll experience some real success here, and I’ll do what I can to help. The next time I feature an artist here, I’ll cover another artists from Vanadzor who does some of the most amazing abstract work I’ve seen in awhile. The arts are alive and well in Armenia.
