"The Magic Mood" bronze, enamel, plywood and acrylic. Wall collages is a new way to display your vision in the home space. In addition to the art movement from different historical periods, creating collages is part of a broader trend in the visual arts (painting, sculpture, design) that explores the use of more complex materials and techniques to achieve balance with abstract concepts.

My name is Karen Terzyan, I was
born in the city of Yerevan (Armenia) in 1962. Due to the collapse of the
USSR, the profession of an engineer became unclaimed in my country and me, like
many of my compatriots, I had to rush about in search of my place in the new
realities. And around 1993, I got the idea to establish a foundry and start
fulfilling orders, which I did.
I was soon taken by a new idea, namely, the
development of a foundry technology that would allow the reincarnation of
living plants into bronze.
I worked on this idea for
about 7-8 years and there was no limit to my joy when it started to turn out,
and the similarity of the castings with the originals (living plants) was
almost absolute.
The next subject of my
inspiration was the idea of ??creating sculptures of people from the obtained
castings, where each element of the face would be some kind of plant,
reincarnated in bronze, the totality of which implies the artistic meaning of
the sculpture. This was my first creative concept in which I have been working
for over 20 years and I never cease to be amazed at how accurately an ensemble
of plants can express the depth of human feelings.
The second concept, which I call associative, is
the reflection of our subconscious in the work. When contemplating the same
work, depending on the mood, we see different variations, and the longer we
peer into the work, the deeper we penetrate into ourselves. The hell and
heaven, not in heaven but in ourselves.
The third concept, which I came to relatively
recently and reluctantly, I confess, is connected with my fears for the fate of
Homo sapiens.
The boasting of digital geniuses, which has
become a trend in the theory of zeroing, the creation of something new by the
human hand, which will also be considered a person, which until now was only
the prerogative of the gods, disturbs and alarms me.
These experiences of mine are reflected in the
works of this concept. Irreversible, degenerative deformation of our being is
not the best end for the genus Homo sapiens.
