Vera Arutyunyan

The Work of Vera Arutyunyan

As Vera stated in one of her conversations with friends, she could not pass the opportunity to take the medium of painting and use its language to communicate her deepest emotional and philosophical perceptions and feelings about the world she lives in and herself to people who, like her, seek understanding of the wonders of natural creation and being human. Since her move to United States in the beginning of 1990s, Vera found herself even more captivated by a stronger yearning to communicate her fears and struggles as an immigrant.

Since then, she feels, she’s been possessed by many thousands and more of those moments when all her inner visions and emotions about the world and herself were crying out loud to come out and be heard. Words of the soul that is looking for philosophical and religious answers of what lies deep within human psyche, words of despair in the world in which we are strangely at home and yet lost at the same time. Words of powerful love for life, for God and spirituality: emotional words so natural and powerful, that could only be expressed through paintings hoping to be understood, obtain identity and significance, become securely existent.
