About

I was born on May 25, 1961, in Yerevan. I graduated from School #65 named after Leo and continued my studies in Leningrad, earning a qualification in civil engineering. Returning to Yerevan, I worked at the Municipal Executive Committee. My passion for art, particularly miniature and portrait painting, emerged in childhood. Since 1993, I've been an honorary member of the Armenian Artists' Center, specializing in folk miniature art. Since 2007, I have dedicated myself to depicting portraits of 132 Catholicoi of All Armenians on ostrich eggs, showcasing my talent in miniature painting, engraving, portrait painting, and illustration. My collection is unparalleled globally. I have showcased my work in various exhibitions, including international ones organized by AJA in 2015 and 2017. My distinctive artistry has earned me a place in the Armenian Guinness Book of the Year 2012-2015.
