Works by Arman Ashot Hambardzumyan
Creation for me is an endless process: the more you search, the more you find, the deeper you
dive, the more you get away from the earth’s crust. There are three important components in my
artworks – philosophy, humor and dynamics. When these components are concentrated, the artwork
can defend itself by engaging in discussions and become eternal, because the work of art lives
longer than the artist. I work with different techniques (welding, soldering, casting, pottery, oil
painting, drawing with coal, pens, and etc.). Each material has its own language. When you
understand the language and make the material into an idea, the result becomes a successful work.
I am inspired by the artworks of the greatest artists of all times – Fidias, Scopas, Praxiteles and
Lysippos.
