- Armen Sarvazyan
Armenian artist Armen Sarvazyan is a prolific sculptor, engineer, and scientist who experiments boldly with diverse media. Apart from stone and wood, Sarvazyan may unfurl his artistic expression on concrete or any other material he finds worth studying and using as a conduit of his expression. His extensive education in physics, math and biology has been an immense influence on his art. Geometric motifs and physics undertones are displayed in the symmetry of his shapes and geometric proportions of his sculpted figures. In addition to his portraits of famous personalities, he is predisposed to sculpting the female form in both abstract and realistic depictions. Movement and flowing curves make his sculptures of women come alive. He is often drawn to use muted colors and allows the rough and smooth surfaces in his works to take center stage. Thematic references in his current works are broadranging, from musical legends to cultural symbolism. His sculptures employ traditional folk woodcarving techniques, and he is compelled by his connection with Nature, his everevolving muse.
Sarvazyan captures the majestic essence of trees while creating works that embody a deep sense of mortality and profound emotion through the slight curve of a mouth, the depth of a gaze, and the memory of a legend. Sarvazyan is an artist who exploits his media to the fullest extent to unravel his peak artistic expression.
