TITLE: Monumental Silence

My inner life wants to stay still. It resists movement, yet its nature is movement.
Presence. here and now. the body, naked, like a silent tree struggling with all the force to feel; to represent itself.
My senses want to relate to the outside world; to reconnect.
Worn out, I throw myself back into the depth of my inner silence.

This is an ongoing visual narrative about the inner life that puts me in touch with the outside world; experiencing the miracle of life in all its forms.

I am a visual artist of Armenian origin, born and raised in Egypt.
I studied Mass Communication in Cairo, then moved to Armenia in 2013 and continued my studies in Yerevan focusing on Visual Arts.

Currently based in Yerevan, I experiment with various media such as photography, video, installations, and illustrations.

I see my artworks as reflections to my surrounding experiences and social interactions while questioning the social and personal issues we, contemporary individuals face today.
