Arev Petrosyan (Born 1972)
Graduated from State Academy of Fine Arts of Armenia in 1998. Member of Artists’ Union of Armenia since 1999. Founded ‘Arev Art Gallery’ in 2015.
Arev Petrosyan art is remarkable for usage of non-conventional artistic materials – organic glass, golden and silver plates, etc. The artist works by combining contrasting realistic and decorative elements, using vivid yet gentle color. The contrast between subtle emotionality and philosophical view, strength and gentleness, is central for this never-ending dialogue.
