SUMMARY:LOVE CONFESSION: A Visual Love Letter by Ella Sarkisyan
DESCRIPTION:LOVE CONFESSION is a poetic and emotionally charged solo exhibition by contemporary artist Ella Sarkisyan\, exploring love as memory\, mystery\, confession\, and transformation. Through layered textures\, symbolic imagery\, and luminous color harmonies\, Sarkisyan invites viewers into an intimate visual dialogue where personal emotion meets universal longing. \nBorn into a family of artists and shaped by formal training at the Studio Art School of Yerevan and Yerevan State University (MFA)\, Ella Sarkisyan has developed a distinctive artistic language rooted in both classical cultural references and experimental contemporary expression. Since relocating to the United States in 1995\, she has exhibited widely across the U.S. and Europe\, earning recognition from collectors\, curators\, and critics for her refined\, mystical\, and emotionally resonant work. \nHer art is known for its elegance\, delicacy\, and symbolic depth—blending fantasy\, literary sensuality\, neoclassical inspiration\, and intuitive abstraction. Each piece carries hidden narratives\, poetic metaphors\, and subtle confessions that unfold through color\, texture\, and form. As Art Director and curator Nicola Eremita describes\, Sarkisyan’s work evokes “an extraordinary harmony of color\, texture\, symbolism\, and mysticism\,” confronting themes of renewal\, creativity\, and the miracle of inner life. \nIn LOVE CONFESSION\, Sarkisyan reflects on identity\, memory\, desire\, and emotional truth\, creating a visual space where Armenian cultural roots converse with contemporary global aesthetics. Her works—featured on international platforms such as Saatchi Art—bridge tradition and innovation\, offering a voice that is both deeply personal and universally moving. \nThis exhibition is an invitation to witness love not only as romance\, but as revelation\, vulnerability\, longing\, and artistic rebirth. \nOpening Night: Friday\, February 6\, 2026 | 7 PM – 10 PM\nExhibition Continues: Saturday\, February 7\, 2026 | 3 PM – 6 PM

SUMMARY:COLORS OF YEREVAN: See Yerevan Through an Karishok’s Heart
DESCRIPTION:COLORS OF YEREVAN is a vibrant and poetic solo exhibition by contemporary Armenian artist Karishok (Karine) Dulyan\, celebrating the emotional rhythm\, architectural spirit\, and everyday poetry of Armenia’s capital. \nBorn and raised in Yerevan\, Dulyan began painting at the age of four and held her first solo exhibition at just five years old. She later pursued a career in architecture and urban design\, earning Master’s degrees in Arts & New Technologiesand Urbanism in Spain\, before returning fully to painting—bringing with her a deep understanding of space\, structure\, light\, and city life. \nHer work is widely recognized for its expressive cityscapes\, abstract urban impressions\, and luminous color palette. Moving fluidly between watercolor\, acrylic\, ink\, mixed media\, and collage\, Dulyan captures the beauty of everyday moments\, the energy of streets\, and the quiet emotional character of cities. Her paintings often reinterpret Yerevan’s architectural “chaos” as unexpected harmony\, revealing charm\, warmth\, and hidden beauty where others may overlook it. \nCOLORS OF YEREVAN presents a visual love letter to the city—its light\, movement\, memory\, and soul. Each artwork invites viewers to pause\, reflect\, and rediscover Yerevan through a lens of color\, optimism\, nostalgia\, and urban poetry. \nOpening Night: Friday\, February 13\, 2026 | 7 PM – 10 PM\nExhibition Continues: Saturday\, February 14\, 2026 | 3 PM – 6 PM

SUMMARY:NOSTALGIA: A Journey Into Memory by Davit Mirzoyan
DESCRIPTION:NOSTALGIA is a reflective and emotionally resonant solo exhibition by acclaimed Armenian artist Davit Mirzoyan\, exploring memory\, time\, identity\, and the quiet poetry of the past through refined painterly expression. \nBorn in 1961 in Yerevan\, Mirzoyan received his BFA in Armenia in 1983 from the Department of Art and Design at the Armenian State Pedagogical University\, where he was trained in the rich traditions of Western European and Russian academic painting. In 1989\, he became one of the youngest members of the prestigious Union of Artists of Armenia and the USSR\, marking him as a significant voice in the contemporary art scene. \nHis international career includes exhibitions across Armenia\, Belgium\, Europe\, and the United States\, and membership in the Royal Art Society St.-Lucas Guild of Belgium (1998). In 2004\, Mirzoyan earned his MFA from Brigham Young University\, further expanding his artistic vision and global presence. \nMirzoyan’s works are distinguished by their emotional depth\, technical mastery\, and contemplative atmosphere. Through nuanced color\, light\, and composition\, he evokes nostalgia not merely as longing for the past\, but as a space of reflection\, meaning\, and quiet beauty. His paintings invite viewers to revisit personal and collective memories—moments suspended between history and feeling. \nHis original works are held in state institutions and private collections in Armenia\, Belgium\, and the United States\, affirming his lasting artistic significance. \nNOSTALGIA is an invitation to slow down\, remember\, and reconnect with the emotional landscapes that shape who we are. \nOpening Night: Friday\, February 20\, 2026 | 7 PM – 10 PM\nExhibition Continues: Saturday\, February 21\, 2026 | 3 PM – 6 PM

SUMMARY:BOUND BY FIRE: Featuring Tro Khayalian & Paola Kassabian
DESCRIPTION:BOUND BY FIRE brings together two artists whose practices are united by heat\, transformation\, and elemental intensity — Tro Khayalian\, an Armenian American abstract painter and metal sculptor\, and Paola Kassabian\, a ceramic artist whose work is shaped through flame\, material\, and process. \nTro Khayalian’s abstract expressionist paintings and metal sculptures channel raw emotion through liquid acrylics\, layered textures\, unconventional tools\, and instinctive color. His work creates immersive visual experiences — energetic\, transportive\, and deeply atmospheric — where movement\, depth\, and subconscious rhythm guide the viewer’s perception. In recent years\, his exploration of metal as a medium has expanded his visual language\, merging industrial strength with expressive abstraction. \nPaola Kassabian’s ceramic practice explores form\, surface\, and transformation through fire. Working with clay as both a sculptural and conceptual medium\, her pieces carry the imprint of heat\, time\, and material evolution — embodying fragility\, resilience\, and tactile beauty. Fire becomes both a tool and a collaborator in shaping her final works. \nTogether\, their works create a compelling dialogue between metal and clay\, fluidity and structure\, intensity and stillness. BOUND BY FIRE explores how heat can destroy\, refine\, and rebirth — revealing the shared alchemy behind two distinct yet interconnected artistic voices. \nOpening Night: Friday\, February 27\, 2026 | 7 PM – 10 PM\nExhibition Continues: Saturday\, February 28\, 2026 | 3 PM – 6 PM
