Biography
I am Elen Karapetyan, born on December 24, 1993, in
Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. From my age of three, I developed a keen
interest in drawing and began capturing detailed representations of the world
around me. In 2012, I completed my studies at the Fine Art School named after
Hakob Kojoyan in Yerevan (started to study in 2003). Throughout my five years
there, I learned from artist Alik Hovsepyan through a practical course.
During four years at the art school, as well as for
two years after graduating in 2012-2013, I attended workshops conducted by
Armenian artist Ara Hovsepyan, who has exhibited his work in numerous
countries. Ara Hovsepyan played an instrumental role in broadening my self-awareness
and fostering the development of my unique artistic philosophy.
In 2014, I enrolled in the UNESCO Chair of Armenian
Art History (UNESCO CAAH) at Yerevan State University, where I pursued the
study of Armenian art history and theory. I successfully completed this program
in 2018, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree.
From 2012 I participated in group exhibitions at local
art galleries and in art-street projects, in 2011 and 2022 I had my two
personal solo exhibitions.
