Levon Azatyan

The paintings of Levon Azatyan draw the viewer into the artist’s studio and the artist’s imagination. In canvases studded with jeweled colors, Azatyan’s Felliniesque eye may conjure a painting inside a painting, where nudes mingle with courtiers, peasants and monks. Each painting has a time-bridging tale, ready to unfold and reward the viewer.

Levon Azatyan was born in the village Gay, Etchmiadzin. He studied at Yerevan Art College and graduated from Yerevan Theatrical and Art Institute, Department of Painting. Azatyan’s striking and dramatic works have been shown in numerous international exhibitions.
