Gyozalyan

Born 1990, Yerevan Armenia

I am an artist and a single proud mother of 2 amazing children.

Painting has always been my only means of self-expression.

I grew up in a neighbourhood where women were considered secondary people with no capabilities of having “worthy” thoughts.

Growing up in a culture of male dominance and suppression art was the only place of true freedom and emotion I could get. 

My main topic of inspiration has always been “the self” - once perception of himself and the journey an individual is going throughout the lifespan. Pain has always been a crucial part in my work, as I see one's growth through feeling and healing. Of course you can’t view an individual without considering the social influences so another main point in my works is the degrading and destructive influence of society.
