Original Oil on Canvas Painting "Women in Anticipation" by Great Armenian Artist Apresik Aloyan

(died in 2021)

An original work of prominent Armenian artist Apresik Aloyan, who is famous for his extremely distinguishing style and vision. His works were presented at many exhibitions around the world, and a documentary 'Steel Gates' which features his life and art was awarded   Best Film at the Festival Temps D'Images in Lisbon (Portugal)

Aloyan's oeuvre consists mainly of imaginary portraits and figurative compositions that conjure up the most delicate, liminal sensations and moments in-between 'active' thoughts. It is hard to assign any set of concrete emotional states to these wide eyed personages that are strangely familiar and yet disquietingly alien at the same time. The artist never gives the viewer the possibility to 'anchor' his images in any specific reality - he just lets them float in a fog of thin paint, like some kind of a mirage on the brink of disappearance.
