Artist’s Statement

My art is a disagreement with the nowadays world-structure and an attempt to discover and change it. When I discovered that the Beauty couldn’t change the world anymore I started to think about the new aesthetic and positions for artists, which is coming with the Contemporary Art.
Conceptual art gave me the chance to talk louder and announce about my ideas and position, coming out from my life experience. In conceptual art I am following "Military Art" direction, which in Armenia was founded by Alexander Melkonyan, and my first steps were done with his help.
Military art recognizes the reality and analyzes it coming out from war history which is the history of human being. War is the part of life, where traditions were formed in extreme situations on the verge of life and death. Here the existential philosophy is considered the main way of thinking to perceive the world through military “culture” and “aesthetics”. Studying the war, as a horrible result of all kind of disagreement and hegemony, artists should find the way how run from this tragedy and offer it to politics. Human old utopias are failed, religious, political, and cultural. We haven’t tried to realize spiritual utopia...

The utmost culture in the world I consider the human being, with his “godlike” idea, with his dreaming soul and inner emotional world.
In my art I want to find the New Utopia of humanity, where will dominate only Love and Creative Soul.
