I am a professional artist from Armenia. My works are of different genres: portraits, plein air, figurative works, still life, abstract. As an artist, I am an expressionist in my nature. I work primarily with oil and acrylic paint and I prefer to have several unfinished works of different genres at the same time and switch from one to the other.
