Armen Asatryan

I am an artist who lives and works in Moscow. However, I grew up in the far north of Russia in the city of Dudinka in a family of a hairdresser and a shoemaker. As a child, I was raised with a love of fashion and art and was taught to listen to myself first and foremost. Since then, I have chosen what was interesting to me and so experimenting has become the credo of my lifestyle.

Fine Art, Modern Art, Contemporary Art by emerging East European Artists

A city the size of a handbag, I did not particularly indulge myself with the abundance of modern life, So I moved first to the cultural capital of Russia at the time - the city of Perm and after - to Moscow. From 2008 to today, hairdressing and styling can be considered my main profession. While working in this position full-time, I gained unique experience in working with color, shape, and communication which came in handy when I started exploring the world of art and fashion. I get inspiration from everywhere: nature, digital media, architecture, etc. But most of all I am intrigued by people. Unlike nature, where everything is harmonious, humans always have a double bottom - I try to catch it in my art. Having the icon painters as far ancestors, my portraits are modern faces - a distant echo of this hereditary connection. For the most part, these are generalized, collective images, a living mixture of contradictions, and endless introspection. The aesthetic component of my work is also great - my portraits are full not only of emotions but also of visual harmony where the lines are as dynamic as life itself.
