In the Armenian artist's research, in fact, it is possible to trace stories, often with dreamlike and perturbing connotations: they are stories that stage uncertain bodies and protagonists, engaged in the even violent confrontation between the sexes, but also in the most tender relations of feelings. They are open stories, that is, they presuppose an interpretation by the viewer and always a different solution in a later work. Painting is an event because it imposes a glimpse into a moment of those stories, a single moment, not even perhaps crucial, certainly suspended between one happening and another. Painting is an event in the artist's everyday life, and he takes on that everyday life, uncovering its distant roots that are rooted in the very ancient Armenian culture, in the drama of the genocide, in the diaspora of a people that becomes a wandering life and memory of the person.
