Zack Demirtshyan (Born 1992)
Zack Demirtshyan graduated with excellence from Marseille public college for artistics studies in 2012 and from the State Academy of Fine Arts of Armenia in 2015. He is a member of Union Internationale De La Marionnette since 2011 as well as a member of Artists’ Union of Armenia since 2013.
Zack Demirtshyan’s digital illustrations of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” and “Yerevan, SketchBook” co-created by him, are among the most popular Armenian releases of last few years. His art combines both the simplicity of the colorful everyday life, however in some of his works Demirtshyan turns to highly surrealist, expressionist, dark motive. Due of the skilled usage of medium, sharp expressiveness of line and color, drastic angles, and distorted characters, he successfully finds the way to affect the viewer both emotionally and intellectually.
