Ararat Sarkissian demonstrates paper-making
process
Ararat Sarkissian a painter and sculptor is also a Member
of the European Academy of Natural Sciences and International Association of
Art, Honored Artist of the Republic of Armenia. He participates in
international art expos and exhibitions around the world. In 2013, he presented
Armenia in the Venice Art Biennale.
Ararat Sarkissian’s art expresses the retention of
experience of identity and memory. Sarkissian’s work, post-modern, conceptual,
and abstract in part, makes reference to ancient cultures as well as to the
important medieval tradition of Armenian illuminated manuscript. His work which
embodies a variety of expressions from ancient cultures also includes the wider
art of medieval and renaissance Europe.
As a multi-faceted artist who knows no boundaries, Ararat
experiences true joy in finding inspiration within nature while continually
challenging himself to synchronize the truth with his unlimited imagination.
“I have always believed that a cross stone is a living
thing. Beyond its functions as a work of art, a religious icon, or an edifice
to power, it lives as a witness to history, and, ultimately, the highest human
aspirations of becoming one with nature. I went on to painstakingly recreate
cross stones that were razed to the ground in Nakhichevan, attempting to give
these vanished monuments a new lease on life through paint and hand-made
paper”.
