ictures by Armen Gasparyan resemble Byzantine frescoes and drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, they are associated with the Venetian carnival and the biblical Babylon. Being often almost monochrome, they are very expressive and symbolic. Armen’s works always have connotations that the artist does not hide. Instead he clearly specifies his thoughts directly on the paper with a swift and clear handwriting in his native Armenian. His characters are harlequins, women, clowns, kings, philosophers and saints. His women have tender faces and languishing eyes, his men are thoughtful and restrained. Armen’s pictures are parable, and he is a wonderful storyteller, hard-working and attentive.
