Born in Erevan, Armenia in 1974, I started drawing at the age of 5. My intense work at the school of Fine-Arts lead me to win the third prize at the expososition in Moscow and first prize at the exposition in Erevan when I was 11. Graduete of the school I continued my studies at the college of Fine-Arts. Later on, I took private lessons with one of Armenia's famous artist Anatoli Papyan. Participation in exhibitions of young painters in Armenia gave me an opportunity to collaborate continuously with private collectors from Russia, USA, Canada and Europe.
Curently my paintings are in various European countries as well as in the United States, Canada and Russia.
In painting I always try to surpass myself by developing my technique and discovering myself by realizing my ideas.
In order to be able to speak out and above all create a difference in the perception and creation of today's art, I founded the School of visual arts in 2018.
