“The Elements of Art”
Why do we need art? Is it the freedom to create life and bring expression to the lifeless? Is it simply the ability to share one’s imagination with the world? Perhaps this question has too many answers. Artists are a gift, and their ability to share the unimaginable is what draws us to their work. For master artist and scientist Armen Sarvazyan, all the earth’s elements are his paintbrush.
Through his passion for both art and science, Armen seeks to understand and honor nature. Armen’s goal as an artist is to share with the world nature’s beauty and perfection. He creates from the very elements of nature to draw attention to what may seem basic and ordinary. Armen’s portrait work focuses on expression and the human form. Pushing past traditional mediums, Armen takes wood in its raw and natural state and carves each likeness, bringing softness, flow, and personality to each piece.
Freedom of expression is found in removing boundaries. Armen pushes the limits of expression, giving us all an opportunity to experience his unique voice. His courage to see beyond simplicity into the complex experience of creation enables the viewer to share in that world. In each art piece and exhibition, Armen hopes his work inaudibly shares his beliefs and ideas so that the message reaches someone through their heart rather than their mind.
As a scientist, Armen has received numerous prestigious awards for his research work. In the world of art, whether stone, wood, concrete or mixed media, Armen’s work creates a natural exhibition bringing together his passion into stunning visual reality. No matter the elements used, whether art or science, we know that master artist and scientist Armen Sarvazyan will be at the forefront of bringing new discoveries for both worlds that open our eyes and engage our hearts.
