Flowerheads door Var Sahakyan
Frankrijk
My inspiration behind this work was to bring abstraction and cinematic qualities to the theme of flower by providing a closeup look of what is the flower head and let the abstract body of colors and shapes give a voice to the flower that would be new and fresh. Even though it is a carpet design I have approached it as a painting, taking the holistic experience of the piece as a central priority while keeping the overal design dynamics flowing throughout the entire carpet, that will allow to both view the carpet as a painting and be able to focus on the different parts.
Over Var Sahakyan
Creation and art for me are the basis of meaning of life. Therefore the thing I enjoy most in art is the creation of something new, something that doesn't exist. In this sense, I embrace with great pleasure abstraction in arts. The passgae below taken from my artistic statement describes mY approach to art.
"It is the freedom in the process of creation that liberates the artist. To know if he created art, the artist has to come out of the process of creation liberated, surprised and with a discovery. Thus it is not a brush, hand or eye that the artist works with – but freedom."
